曾经红极一时的好莱坞巨星伊丽莎白(黛米·摩尔 Demi Moore 饰),无法面对自己老去的容颜,决定使用一种名为“完美物质”的黑市药物,透过注射药物的细胞复制物质,创造出更年轻、更好的另一个自己(玛格丽特·库里 Margaret Qualley 饰)。“年华老去”及“年轻貌美”的自己该如何共存?会是更强烈的容貌焦虑大战?还是要不断迎合大众对“美”的期待?一场自我身体主导权的争夺战即将上演……
In this powerful documentary, Mama Yang, an 84-year-old woman living in New York, finds herself in correspondence with 45 high security prison inmates she views as her own children. Most are Chinese American immigrants, and see in Mama Yang a mother figure they never knew before they stepped through prison walls.
For Mama Yang though, the story is about more than Christian charity. She had already lived a full life in Taiwan when her husband died at age sixty and her son lost their house in a financial blunder. She moved to the US to start anew and lives with a Taiwanese American granddaughter that remains distant. In a film marked by family separations, Mama Yang writes letters – whether to the incarcerated or to her own granddaughter – to heal lifetimes of wounds.
