Through a song and letter, a queer Chinese-American daughter finds words for the love and distance shaping the connection with her mother. As she grows, she struggles with cultural expectations, identity, and everything left unsaid between them. In finding her own voice, she begins to understand where she comes from—and where she’s meant to go.
