"[Saving Face] gets its heart pumping by putting its lovers smack in the middle of family and community."—Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post

"It has the heart and spirit of a true romantic comedy, and a lightness of touch that you rarely see in a debut picture."—Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Wil (Michelle Krusiec) is a lesbian, but she not dare tell her widowed mother, Hwei-lan (Joan Chen), or her very traditional grandparents. She's shocked, however, to find out she's not the only one in her family with romantic secrets when she learns that her 48-year-old mother is pregnant. Unwilling to reveal who the father is, Hwei-lan is kicked out of her parents' home and must move in with Wil, which puts a strain on Wil's budding relationship with openly gay Vivian (Lynn Chen).
