When leaving home, what do we carry to the new place?
A series of lighthearted performative vignettes that explore the duality of immigrant and queer life— the longing to return to the familiar geographic, cultural, and bodily coordinates of one's past, alongside an equally compelling desire to assimilate into a new culture and identity. Through a collection of absurd scenes depicting both the attempts and failures to fit in, the film illustrates the felt incongruities of this experience in a hybrid form.
