Bahala Na

Synopsis:
Spanning decades from the 1920's in China to the 1990's in America, BaHaLa Na is about a dying Chinese woman who conjures up memories of her life in China and the Philippines, in hopes of transforming her gay grandson. Her memories, steeped in conflicts about race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and generational differences, open doors to the past, grip her heart, and lead her to an unexpected ending.
