Description

In multicultural New York City, young surgical resident Wil Pang (Michelle Krusiec) is just starting a romance with dancer Vivian (Lynn Chen) when her life is upended: her widowed, very traditional mother (Joan Chen), unmarried and unexpectedly pregnant, is thrown out by her own father and moves into Wil's small apartment. While trying to match her mother with a parade of eligible bachelors, Wil has to guard her own private life, and both women are forced to face the cultural and generational distance between them. Alice Wu's debut is a warm romantic comedy-drama about family expectations, identity, and the freedom of living honestly.
