The teaser opens in dimly lit Chinatown kitchens where Aishe, a Uyghur immigrant, scrapes together a living. Skirting deportation amidst cramped quarters, she encounters Skinner, a recently returned U.S. soldier haunted by his service. Their fateful meeting sparks cautious conversation and unexpected intimacy. Through contemplative visuals—empty streets, shared city rooftops, and whispered conversations—the trailer speaks to loneliness, longing, and the yearning for belonging. Under director Bing Liu’s subtle yet powerful lens, the film promises a quiet reckoning of love amid displacement.

Adapted by Martyna Majok from Atticus Lish’s acclaimed novel, the film is produced by Plan B, Plan A (with executive work by Barry Jenkins), and Orion Pictures; co-starring Sebiye Behtiyar and Fred Hechinger.
