Directed by Celina LungCast: Ainsley Dye, Christina Tsui, Geno Rodriguez, Kellie Been, Kevin Lung, Lenord Robinson, Maria Pham, Max Jurand, Melissa Sheng
In New York City, an immigrant dad from Beijing, yearns for his American born daughter Eva to value her Chinese heritage. She strives for independence and conformity with her peers. Living above his acupuncture clinic, it seems increasingly difficult each year to reach her. This is shown symbolically by this single father, trying to make Eva appreciate Chinese tea despite her reluctance. Their relationship is strained the night before her departure to a new job in San Francisco.
