Baby Steps
Taiwanese-American Danny and his partner Tate live in West Hollywood and they want to have a baby. Danny’s mom, Mrs. Lee, (expertly played by The Wedding Banquet‘s Gua Ah-leh) travels from Taipei to oversee the proceedings and ensure the surrogate mother is exactly right. She has a vested interest, as she has no other grandchildren and longs to continue her bloodline. After failing to find a proper match in the US and without success in other countries, the trio decide to approach Mickey, Mrs. Lee’s beloved Indonesian maid. Conflicts inevitably arise between mother and the parental wanna-bes, and Mrs. Lee must figure out how to come to terms with her non-traditional family. In English & Mandarin with subtitles.
