A tender, melancholic portrait of two grieving people bridging isolation and language barriers through shared loss and unexpected kinship.

A young man of Chinese-Cambodian descent dies, leaving behind his isolated mother and his lover of four years. Though the two don't share a language, they grow close through their grief.
