Didi and Amy, working in a massage parlor in Queens, New York, live with other Chinese immigrant women. In this unfamiliar place, they each cope with the responsibilities to their families and their loneliness, struggling to pursue happiness, love, and a sense of normalcy. On New Year’s Day, an overwhelming grief befalls them, and when Amy loses her way in life, it is the Chinese immigrant women who help finding her footing. While the film visualizes the deep-rooted racism, violence, and sexual objectification faced by Asian women in Western society, its more significant focus is on the relationships between these immigrant women—the unexpected solidarity and connections they form through their shared experiences of loss. Set in New York, this film sensitively captures the complex experiences of women in diaspora. (HONG Soin)
