Having arrived in New York as a visiting student, the filmmaker works in a photo archive during her studies, digitising negatives of protests by the city’s labor movement from the early 20th century. As images of the protests appear amidst the repetitive workflow, she speaks in a calm voice about her mother, who also left her hometown as a young migrant worker, as well as her own situation as a queer migrant in New York. In doing so, she skillfully weaves the past together with her present and future, uniting collective and personal memories.
