Alice Wu, a software-engineer-turned-filmmaker, wrote and directed this semi-autobiographical film. Wil, a young Chinese-American woman, has her life turned upside-down when her pregnant mother moves in with her. Wil must figure out how to balance her family, her job, and her budding relationship with a dancer named Vivian. Within their traditionalist Chinese community, Wil, her mother, and Vivian are all in search of acceptance and the courage to do what makes them happy.

Film to be followed by discussion.
