saving face a film by alice wu
SAVING FACE, the first American theatrical release film featuring an Asian American lesbian couple.
For 28-year-old New Yorker Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, life is a juggling act between a promising career as a surgeon and her responsibilities as a dutiful daughter. 
One night, Wil comes home to find Ma on her doorstep--pregnant. Disgraced by the Chinese community, and with no where else to go, Ma moves in with her daughter, making it difficult for Wil to nurture a budding relationship with gorgeous dancer Vivian. Wil is forced to find her mother a husband, her girlfriend, and choose between breaking a cycle, or risk losing the girl she loves.

its a very big controversy... asian.... a lesbian couple and a widowed mother who got pregnant.
this is a show about "face"..... in the asian culture.... how ppl talk about "virtue" and "honour".... how this family went agaisnt all odds jus to do wat their hearts desire...
its a good show ladies and gentleman....
