During her chaotic family’s Qingming visit, dead Grandma Nai sneaks away from her peaceful afterlife after overhearing that her queer grandson is about to get engaged to a woman.
Director's Statement My Grandma Nai was often irritated. She scolded anyone who ever did anything frivolous or annoying. So when it came to her grandchildren, Grandma Nai played favorites, and I was hers. Growing up, I knew I wasn’t like most boys, so I clung tightly to Grandma Nai because, by her side, I was protected. Having lost her at a young age, Grandma Nai has become my personification of hope. In moments of loneliness, I often speak to her and wonder if she could hear the secrets and stories I share. Then one day, I imagined a world in which she could. I imagined her presence living at the tomb we built for her. And next to her was a neighboring grandma ghost with whom she could confide and laugh. Out of these imaginations, the character of Grandma Nai was born—in her spirit, I want to showcase what unconditional love for queer folks could look like.
