"Do you know why we Chinese take care of our elderly parents? Because growing old is scary. I saw it in your Popo, didn’t matter how much money we could spend. So I stayed with her, in this small house. Because that is a daughter’s duty."
When Mei's Taoist mother passes away, she is tasked with organising the funeral despite their religious differences. As she is reunited with family - two daughters based in New Zealand, and an older sister whose whole life has revolved around their late mother - Mei finds herself entangled amongst the threads of tradition, family, and coming of (old) age.
