Lost in Translation and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind meets Groundhog Day, in this exploration of mind, body, and spirit set against the melancholic activity that fills the inactive parts of our days. Traverse talking genitalia, first crushes, and empathetic fear in what is sure to be a crystalline view of the opacity of queerness. In the words of John Lennon, "life happens when you’re busy making other plans," and this program seeks to redefine queer existence and subvert tropes by asking us to stay present, even throughout the mundane.
A young woman falls in love with a waitress in a greasy-yet-nostalgic Hong Kong-style cafe, but a language gap divides the two - or is there something more.
