Nine-year-old Eve navigates childhood in a traditional Chinese immigrant household in Vancouver, where Confucian rituals blend with grandmother's Buddhist altars and sudden Catholic influences. Her vivid imagination transforms family superstitions and religious doctrines into a private mythology, while her pragmatic older sister, Karena, strives to enforce order. As Eve reconciles teachings about sin, reincarnation, and filial piety, her world becomes a kaleidoscope of divine visions, moral anxieties, and cultural intersections, all seen through the lens of a lonely, wonder-filled girlhood.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Julia Kwan's debut is a delicately observed portrait of childhood spirituality, filmed with a poetic eye for the magic in everyday rituals. It treats its cultural and religious collisions with gentle humor and deep empathy, never reducing them to simple metaphors.

What lingers after the credits is the poignant sense of a child's earnest negotiation with the mysteries of devotion, tradition, and belonging. A small film with a quietly resonant emotional footprint. — MovieFinder Editorial

Best Watched

The glow of home altars, the quiet of rooms heavy with a child's contemplation, the tactile contrast of glossy prayer cards and grainy incense smoke.
