Synopsis
A portrait of Chinese illegal immigrants who are caught between two cultures, but belong to neither. Story centers on a young man, Robert, working in a Chinese restaurant who is desperately seeking a green card, as are several of his co-workers. And although his friend encourages him to find an American wife, Robert doesn't feel comfortable with non-Asian women.
