Upon his death, a Cantonese family’s patriarch leaves behind a mysterious journal to his grandchild, Benji Lau. Benji hasn’t been back home in years, not since he came out as trans and stepped out of his twin sister’s shadow. As Benji moves in with his newly widowed grandmother, he must figure out his new place in the family and excavate his grandfather’s unknown past. Flitting from the present to 1950s Hong Kong to Benji’s childhood, Moonbow weaves in magical realism and poetry for an intimate journey of navigating grief, building intergenerational possibilities, and finding home.
