Synopsis:
So often do we forget that our mothers were, and still are, women. How much do our mothers hide from us, and how much do those overlap with the secrets we keep to ourselves? This film is told through the voices of several first and second generation Asian American women, as a daughter tries to recreate the memories of her mother’s life before hers.
