Grab your favourite microwave popcorn and join us for our first online Asian Movie Night!
We’ll be watching Dear Ex, a Taiwanese comedy/drama with the ultra-rare happy gay movie ending. A quick synopsis from Netflix:
“When Sanlian’s ex-husband passes away, she discovers he has altered his insurance policy, cutting out their son in favor of a stranger named Jay. Outraged, Sanlian decides that she and her son will confront Jay, but Jay proves equal to her scheme. However, when her son unexpectedly moves in with Jay, she is forced to reassess her relationship with them both.”
