Sunken Plum
7.5
Working at a nightclub in Chengdu, a transgender Chinese woman receives an unexpected visit from her cousin informing her that the mother she has brushed aside, has died. As the only "son", she feels obligated to return to her birthplace for the sake of her family, even though she'll have to hide her true self from those that once shared her past.
