The Farewell
•
•
Billi was born in China but lives in New York. Now she is going to a family wedding in Changchun. The wedding is staged and just an excuse for the whole family to gather to see Grandma, Nai-Nai, one very last time. She does not have much time left to live, but she does not get to know exactly that, because the family has decided to keep it a secret.
The attempt to give her a happy time spared from worries comes into conflict with Billi's Western values. Billi tries to navigate a minefield of expectations and social codes in China, while she learns a lot about herself and rediscovers the country she was born in. With a good lie in the center, it becomes a humorous and touching meeting between family and cultures.
