Synopsis: From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can’t afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee’s IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min’s skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza. With a pitch-perfect cast of multigenerational talent that includes Bowen Yang, Academy Award nominee Lily Gladstone, Kelly Marie Tran, Han Gi-Chan, Joan Chen, and Academy Award winner Youn Yuh-Jung, this fresh reimagining of Ang Lee’s beloved, award-winning rom-com teems with humor and heart in a poignant reminder that being part of a family means learning to both accept and forgive.
WHAT ABOUT AFTER THE CLOSING NIGHT FILM?
WE’VE GOT EVEN MORE FESTIVAL TO ENJOY WITH THE COPPER WING AWARDS PRESENTATION!
Auditorium 1 at 9:30 PM
You do not need to attend the Closing Night film to attend the Copper Wing Awards presentation - but going to both makes wrapping up the festival even better! Sunday may be the last night of the festival, but we know how to give it a proper send off.
There’s nothing like seeing that table full of trophies or the anticipation that comes with finding out who will be taking one home with them!
So be sure to join us after the film to be the first to find out the 2025 winners! This is a non-ticketed event, but space is limited so be sure to get to the theatre on time. We’ll see you there!
The 2025 Copper Wing Awards are presented by Lotus Q Inc.
