Summertime in New York. Young Chinese couple Pingu and Jiaqi are striving to build a new life after finishing their studies. When Jiaqi accepts a job offer in China, a pandemic travel ban strands her in Los Angeles, leaving the couple suspended between two cities, two time zones, and uncertainty about whether to return or stay. Yan’s delicate debut traces the fragility of human connection with quiet precision — a melancholic portrait of love and identity, and a tender reflection on migration for a generation caught between two worlds.

Followed by a Q&A with Kunao Yan hosted by Marie-Pierre Richard of EAFFI.
