TRAILER

Synopsis: Alice Wu's one-of-a-kind, underappreciated Chinese-American lesbian rom-com Saving Face (2004). Wilhelmina is a closeted surgeon living in New York, successfully doging the amorous advances of straight men arranged for her by her widowed, homophobic mother. Everything changes for Wil when she meets a beautiful ballet dancer named Vivian; at the same time, Wil's mom becomes pregnant and wants to move in with her, unsure of the identity of the baby's father. Together, mother and daughter set out to find love for each other. Starring Michelle Krusiec, Lynn Chen, and the legendary Joan Chen, SAVING FACE is a unique, touching portrait of queer love and family!
