White Tiger follows Khloe, a Korean American high school student and aspiring artist, and her immigrant mother, Young-Mi. While Khloe dreams of attending art school, her mother insists she remain close to home and work in the family laundromat. As Khloe begins to experience vivid dreams of Gil, a genderqueer Korean immigrant living through the Mexican Revolution, past and present begin to intertwine. Across time, both mother-child relationships fracture under pressure, revealing tensions around identity, belonging, and autonomy. These parallel conflicts set off a chain of events that reverberate across generations.
