Film Overview

Daly City is an autobiographical story about an Indonesian boy and his mother who bring Chinese takeout to a church potluck and pretend itʼs a traditional family dish. The boy’s quiet observations lead him to question his parents’ behavior as they strive to find a sense of belonging in a new country.
