➱ STORYLINE:
"The Farewell" is a poignant and heartfelt film that tells the story of a Chinese-American woman named Billi. When she learns that her grandmother Nai Nai has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, Billi struggles with her family's decision to keep the diagnosis a secret from Nai Nai herself. Instead, the family organizes a wedding as a pretext to gather before Nai Nai's impending death. The film beautifully explores themes of cultural identity, family bonds, and the clash of Eastern and Western philosophies on life and death.
