My Dear (2022)

*My Dear* isn’t just a documentary—it’s a tender, shape-shifting essay on the pressure of living between worlds. Director Aragon Yao turns the universal clock of an expiring visa into a deeply personal meditation on queerness, family, and belonging. Through intimate phone calls, whimsical paper puppetry, and the catharsis of drag, Yao asks: when you can’t fit into your parents’ expectations or your boyfriend’s future, where do you find yourself? This film is for anyone who has ever felt torn between cultures, identities, or timelines. It’s quiet, poetic, and achingly honest.
