short film
dir. Jacqueline Chan | written by Gene Wang
Natalie and her childhood friend Joanne drive home after their first semester of college to celebrate Chinese New Year. Navigating festivities once inviting but now seem tinged with a foreign animosity, Natalie struggles to keep the growing attraction she shares with Joanne from the prying eyes of those she once called home.
大學第一個學期結束，娜塔麗和她孩時的朋友喬安開車回家過春節。漸生情愫的二人在熱鬧的聚會裡一邊享受家人團聚的時光，一邊試圖隱瞞對彼此的感覺。
