Movie More Info
How far would a mother go to find where her child belongs and unlock her true potential? Based on writer/director Ann Hu’s story, that’s the question facing Lan (ZHU ZHU), who travels with her 9-year-old daughter Meimei (HARMONIE HE) from their small town in China to New York City.
Inflicted with a learning disability, Meimei considered a strange and dumb girl, an outcast in her school and community. What no one recognizes, however, is that she possesses a gift waiting to be unlocked. The world seen through her eyes is unique and filled with magic. When her mother learns that Meimei suffers from dyslexia, as do 1 in 10 people worldwide, she will stop at nothing to reverse her daughter’s fate, including leaving her life in China behind and venturing alone with Meimei New York City, braving a place she knows nothing about and speaking not a word of English.
