Living up to your family’s high hopes can be almost impossible to navigate, especially as an LGBT+ person. When the world expects families to fit a traditional ideal, what does that mean for the dreams of parents, would-be parents, and the kids caught in the middle? 

Though same-sex marriage is now legal in her hometown, Xin, resolves to give up her successful career in the U.S. and return home. Xin's parents eagerly await their daughter's return. However, little do they know about Xin's intentions to take advantage of Taiwan's new same-sex marriage laws. Caught between love and family, Xin risks both her family and lover and is forced to own up to her true feelings.
