Doris Chu, a recently divorced Chinese American woman, has plastic surgery to make her eyes rounder. From her teenage daughter Mei's perspective, her mother's two eyes equal two lies.

This beautiful black and white drama is a poignant study of generational conflict and the struggle for identity in a world of hybrid cultures.
