With Cindy Cheung, Wai Ching Ho, Amy Keum, Jon Norman Schneider, and Daisuke Tsuji
Don’t mess with a Chinese grandma.
When a high-rise developer threatens to buy out A-Poh’s successful Chinatown restaurant, the martyr-complex matriarch gathers her three precious grandchildren from all corners of the country to plan their next mode of attack.
There’s just one problem – A-Poh’s memory is rapidly fading. What follows is a chaotic journey through reality, myth, and magic as A-Poh travels through now and the great beyond in a last-ditch effort to preserve what’s left of her family, legacy, and sanity.
A caustic and imaginative spin on King Lear that explores the changing face of America’s Chinatowns and the fight to preserve a fading cultural memory.
