Taipei Story

College freshman Lily Chen spends the summer in Taipei at an intensive language program, hoping to connect with the culture she’s always felt just outside of. But grueling classes, social drama, and a reckless decision that sparks vicious gossip leave her feeling more like an outsider than ever.

When her grandfather suddenly dies, Lily is forced to confront the gaps in her family’s history—and the questions she may never get to ask. As she grieves, a messy, funny, and heartbreaking summer becomes a search for connection, identity, and what “home” really means.
