Saving Face
Description
This thriller begins with many powerful events that look quite different. The story begins with a Chinese-American lesbian girl who has a relationship with her traditional mother. This girl and her mother may be reluctant to appear to the public with a secret love that runs counter to cultural expectations that may contradict that strange relationship.
