A working-class father struggles to communicate with his daughter in this tender, autobiographical exploration of the family ties that bind.
Challenging clichéd notions of the reserved immigrant parent, Berni Jiang’s tender, emotionally nuanced portrait of a middle-aged produce worker – played by the director’s father – finds the warmth in a relationship that might otherwise appear distant, resonating with the quiet acts of parental kindness we often take for granted.
