old family ways versus standards of today
14 May 2021
Jade ( Oh Sandra) wants to be an actress, but of course, her traditional parents want her to meet a nice successful, chinese guy and settle down. Well, she DOES meet a nice caucasian guy... and spends the night. Oh, the scandal. And she kind of falls for him. But she's too afraid to tell the parentals that he's not chinese. So she chickens out. She strikes out at her acting audition, so she's having a bad week all around. But then she really connects with her uncle when they have a good conversation about what is important. Is it so vital to try to please the family and give up your own desires? Values have changed so much in just a generation. It's good. Moves a bit slow, but that's okay. Very well done. Written and directed by Mina Shum; she has won many film fest awards!
