A migrant boy searches for a grip in his identity, born in Manila, raised in England. We watch his journey into adulthood as he battles between his Asian-ness and Britishness, seeking acceptance and a place he can call home.
“Why can’t I be both?
Both British and Asian?
Both are important, both are beautiful, both are a part of who I am”.
We see the challenges of the model minority trope, the search for self beyond the East Asian stereotype, and how the migrant experience is often defined within the survival and sacrifice of our heritage to adopt another culture, another identity.
