This collection of AAPI short films tenderly explores the bonds, tensions, and unspoken love that shape family life. From generational clashes and cultural expectations to moments of joy, care, and quiet understanding, these stories reveal the complexity and resilience at the heart of family relationships. Together, they remind us that within every household lies a tapestry of memory, sacrifice, and connection that continues to define who we are and who we become.
Judy, a swimmer under immense pressure from her mother, is pushed to breaking point. When she finally challenges her mother’s power over her, both of them must confront truths about each other that threaten to break them apart forever – or bind them tighter than before.
Director Winona Lu
