If you loved Ode to My Father, try Tidal Wave

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

Busan. Summer. A dropped ice cream. Traumatized by a past fishing accident, one man tries to protect a new love. Elsewhere, a geologist warns everyone of a coming mega-tsunami, but nobody believes him. South Korean disaster movies always deliver.
