Parents fly into LAX from Hong Kong to attend younger daughter's college
graduation. Elder daughter, an American yuppie, is also on hand. With
the weekend to kill, the foursome hits the interstate bound for the
Grand Canyon. The trip instead will carry the family members into a
new understanding of themselves individually and the ties that don't
quite bind them. The winner of the first Alpha Cine Award at the 2002
Seattle International Film Festival, SEE YOU OFF TO THE EDGE OF TOWN
is an amazing achievement: delicately nuanced, tender but never sentimental
or precious, quietly surprising at every turn, and visualized by an
entirely distinctive eye.
