Beloved art teacher Mrs. Yeh has long given up her dreams of seeing the world, instead becoming a good wife, mother and daughter. She dutifully waits on her mansplaining loafer husband, tries to keep tabs on her Alzheimer’s-stricken mother and dotes on her grown children. When her architect daughter moves back home while trying to reset her career, Mrs. Yeh decides to buy a bigger apartment, plans go awry. This beautifully nuanced feature debut eloquently and humorously addresses the human condition through the family microcosm. With mise en scène that cleverly conveys metaphoric resonance as well as poetic passages of dream-logic, this is a profound paean to empowerment through self-actualization.
