Thank You



Every day, Maryon follows the instructions on sticky notes. What’s wrong with that? She knows the names of every pigeon in the park and insists on stepping only on the white squares of crosswalks. Suffering from OCD, she struggles to maintain healthy relationships and, by age fifty, spends her days bickering with her elderly mother. But after her only remaining family passes away, Maryon—who speaks broken English—decides to head alone to Utah in the American West to chase her American Dream. At a legendary and mysterious tourist destination, bad luck prevents her from winning a coveted one-day pass to The Wave, which only allows 20 global visitors per day, but in this vast landscape, she encounters a mysterious American man named Rob.
