Interesting glimpse into an Asian-American immigrant situation

I found this film because of then-future Star Wars actress Kelly Tran playing a minor role here. It's a low budget short film and intriguing enough to make me write a review.

We watch the situation of two siblings, supposedly orphaned daughters of Asian immigrants into the United States. They struggle to make ends meet and fear falling down completely. Grace (Teresa Huang ) works herself off as a massause at a local spa.

Kelly Tran plays a minor role. Given her performance, I can tell why a director would pick her to develop in further roles. The main actor Teresa Huang, however, is the one who carries this film. The story is realistic, and I am sure every single of its scenes has played out in reality hundreds and thousands of time. If you are not an Asian-American women, you might an idea of the circumstances that demographic group experiences.
