Chinese-American surgeon Wil lives a carefully compartmentalized life — until her traditional mother moves in while unexpectedly pregnant, and Wil falls for a dancer named Vivian. Caught between cultural expectations and her own heart, Wil must find the courage to stop hiding.
Why watch it
The first American film about an Asian-American lesbian couple to get a theatrical release. Alice Wu drew on her own coming-out and refused studio offers that wanted the story straightened or whitewashed. Warm and genuinely funny — a rarity among American lesbian films of its era.
