He yearns for the freedom his older sister Vivian seems to possess, navigating the treacherous waters of teenage romance and self-discovery with effortless grace. But his world is anchored by the unwavering, sometimes suffocating, love of his mother, Chungsing Wang, a single parent juggling work, family, and the cultural expectations that bind her. Underneath the surface of youthful exuberance, Chris’s story begins to unravel as he seeks guidance not from his family, but from his new friends, Fahad and Madi, navigating first crushes and the treacherous landscape of fitting in.

Dìdi (弟弟) Movie Storyline

In Fremont, California, during the sweltering summer of 2008, thirteen-year-old Chris Wang, portrayed with awkward charm by Izaac Wang, navigates the treacherous waters of adolescence with a blend of naiveté and burgeoning curiosity. Living under the watchful eye of his Taiwanese immigrant mother, Chungsing Wang, played by Joan Chen, Chris yearns to break free from the family’s traditional expectations. His older sister, Vivian Wang, teases and cajoles him, offering glimpses into the adult world he so desperately wants to understand. Chris’s summer unfolds as a series of comical mishaps and poignant discoveries. He clumsily attempts to learn skateboarding from local kids like Fahad, enduring painful falls and social embarrassments in equal measure. He navigates the confusing world of flirting, guided by questionable advice and his own wildly inaccurate assumptions, culminating in a disastrous attempt to impress Madi at a local park. Throughout it all, Chris grapples with his growing affection for his mother, complicated by the typical teenage desire for independence and a fear of expressing his emotions. His relationship with his grandmother, Nèi Nai, who offers silent support and traditional wisdom, adds another layer to his understanding of family and love. As the summer wanes, Chris learns that love manifests in unexpected ways, and that embracing his identity, both Taiwanese and American, is the key to finding his place in the world, finally understanding how to appreciate his mother and the sacrifices she has made.
