Having fallen in love with a white New Zealand boy, 27-year-old Liang turns the camera on herself in this thoroughly intimate self-account of the struggle to gain acceptance from traditional Chinese parents.
Heartfelt, brave, and unabashedly romantic, Liang's shows great sensitivity in balancing her ambitions as a film-maker with her vulnerability as a subject. Her original film succeeds in its own terms, but it's only with the bonus 30-minute epilogue (made especially for the DVD) that she gets the whole story in a nutshell.
