Omg... sasha's dad is exactly like my dad... I thought he hated me but after he passed away....I realized how harsh the outside world is and he was just preparing me to be brave and to face any hardships in life, I now realize why he was so tough on me... miss you dad ❤️

How many people read the comments section before watching d movie...

The actor for the Dad was Richard Ng, a famous actor from Hong Kong, who just passed away in April 2023. It is possible this was his last play. Love the characters Mr. Ng brought to many movies.

When I saw this in my recommendations, I thought about how cringe it looked and it was probably going to stereotype the Asian community instead. This movie was really good! It made me think, cry, and appreciate my parents that much more.

So refreshing to see a movie without a “love interest”! An interesting and entertaining movie. I learnt something about toys.

I surfed KZfaq for an hour trying to look for an actual good movie till I found this... definitely LOVED it❤

Such a good movie... the combination of entertainment and lessons to learn makes it a brilliant art

Only a woman could write something like this, you feel the touch of a sensitive woman. Very nice! Good teachings, above all about EGO, family, friendship, life, love. You can easily understand what is better to avoid to do. Life is not money, nor business, life is enjoying what you have, doing what you really want to do, being grateful, thanking for everything, even for tiny things, and helping those who have less than you. I enjoyed this movie a lot, thanks for uploading.

Can everyone shut up in these comments all I want to know is this IS THE KOVIE WORTH WATCHING !!!😂

She actually isn't as bratty as dad makes her out to be. She really has a good heart and love for hard working people ❤️

I like the way actors speak English incredibly. Most of all, how the Filipino characters were treated. The maid wasn't insulted or shouted upon. The Filipino product designers, too, wee treated well. Thanks to the movie writer. That was entertaining.

This is such an amazing movie that really reflects actual chinese social problem and challenges that current generation is facing. Acting 100%. Story line 100%. Love it.

When Sasha 's dad said to his employees, "more passion!" What a welcome 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂

Being 1st Generation Chinese-American with parents from China, I totally relate to this movie. This is better than the stereotyped movies portraying Chinese people from the past decades.

She has so cuute and nice friends with looks but also with brain and style, therefore I like this movie even more. They keep the conversation at higher level than about boys and drinks. They party in a fun way and keep their self esteem . This movie brings so many good examples of how friends should be.

Surprised how good this movie was I don't usually get into small budget family dramas but this is really a charming little flick thanks for the upload. 😊

This is a gem of a movie. I'm glad it appeared in my feed.

This is really well done. So much of the Chinese family caring culture, the work ethics, and the deeply heart felt connections I genuinely can relate to. It was also hillarious the screaming, the blaming and downward spiral of negativity. Overall really grateful for this story telling of my Chinese heritage

Lulu did not even finish high school and worked at a local hair salon but her English is top-notch!

The act of generosity, in the end, gave me tears! Fabulous movie

relatable. as a filipina my culture taught me to get good grades and work hard and be what our parents thought they want us to be … hence majority is not living their dream. Being a mother i had instilled in my son to go for what you love to do and get paid . PLAN A should be the focus but we’re caught up with plan B .. back up plan and should never be like that

Love this move so much. It popped up as a suggested movie for me randomly and I thought why not. It was such a fun and touching movie. I'm glad I gave it a watch.

this deserves more hype !! im so glad youtube recommended this to me. and anna is such a good actress, i hope she gets more roles~

I love how the filipino and chinese are working well together with the americans. This is a truly Asian Amercian movie. I love it. Keep it up.

Amazing movie. Awesome actors from China and the Philippines 😊❤️❤️❤️

Great movie! Real family story conflict life. The sibling acted really well, very natural! Forgives, regardless of their flaws. Sometimes your own family disappointments serves to save other people disappointments. In fact, Sasha's disappointments of being fatherless helped to all factory workers to be close to their families. Great lessons to learn from this movie. .....

Just bumped it on KZfaq, and watch it by curiosity, but it's really good movie and tears up. Everyone did great job on their characters 👏 😍

This made me cry because it hit so close to home. I'm from an Indian family so not everything relates but the discussion that Carol had with her dad about taking responsibility and being a daughter before being his employee/investment hit too close to home. I wish my parents would have at least told me what I'm signing up for and give me the option to leave and support myself if I choose. Most Asian parents don't give their children this choice and expect the world out of their kids. It's simply too much pressure sometimes.

Family is always more important than Money. Great movie and so many lessons to learn. Thank you

A pop up movie on the my newsfeed, and is really a good movie to watch, an also a lesson learned movie and i’m glad to see some filipino cast on this show that speaks also tagalog...a well done movie!...

I absolutely love this movie! it had me in tears. We need more movies like this, very heartfelt and relatable. And I like that it wasn't sexual. The movies that are being shoved in our face nowadays are way over the top with intrusive sex scenes😒.

I'm so happy to see Filipino actors and actress in this movie 🤗🤗🤗

This was actually a good movie. In fact, a relatable one.

👍...this is reality of everyones life...i like the story it en-tells a lot of how our society works...how family survives.. thumbs up to my filipino countrymen portraying the reality of working abroad leaving their families behind in order to earn...

Love this movie. I like the way they are all straight talking - not hiding behind politeness. Especially the father character.

Such a sweet movie! Anna's and Lynn's acting was very natural. Love from Sri lanka 🇱🇰

What a movie, no action no nothing but a huge and a great message, and that's an example of a true father right there, this movie is really rich of meanings!

This movie will teach everyone a lesson too. I appreciate and love this.❤️

I absolutely LOVED this movie 🥺❤️ If you're checking the comments to see if you should watch it......Please Do!

This is my 1st time seeing this movie it just happened to pop up on my feed and I'm glad I took a chance. What a beautifully done movie great cast

I've learnt so much, Sasha learns so much, she knows when to forgive and give. She is honest and i think i love that character

Lovely authentic reflection of the many cultural challenges in the US, China and everywhere the orientals have prospered and grown into other nations, cultures. The web has made it like in our face! Story is so realistic, great actors too. Enjoyed the dynamics of family run business that doesn't stop when partners go home after work!

This is going to be my favorite movie forever

Being Asian and a Filipino at that super can relate. We don't mind a boss who screams and taunt but never backs it up, those are the kind of bosses that you just need to understand. ... There is this saying that states ... You don't have to understand but rather just be understanding, that's the secret to a Filipino's patience. "Kung nakakaintindi ka, intindihin mo na lang." There are a lot of old timers that think their time consumed through work is their sacrifice for the betterment of their family, yet forget to give a single second for their family. ... ... so sad.

It is fascinating to see Anna Akana grow artistically so much in front of my eyes, from shorter videos to short films to this.

This movie is really amazing and the fact that it shows the problem China is facing and some other Asian countries the movie is really eye opening

I came across this movie while scrolling on KZfaq. I love this movie. I love the character of Sasha Ting, the character of the father is rather harsh or abusive but then all of a sudden, towards the end, the father lightens up to have a soft heart 😂. I want to explore more of Emily Ting's movies.

Good movie, I laughed when he said, “ daddy is afraid that people in your school will think that I am your grandpa.”

wow, what a great movie, the writing, directing, acting, casting, music. I can't think of a single flaw.

I can relate much.. good times working as a nanny 10 years ago in Hongkong. Respect to my Chinese employers.

This movie made me cry lots,I haven’t back to China for years already

😃"go back to China"! What? "Bleep you I'm an American"! 😃🤣😄That got me to watch this movie! Excellent! Thanks, Adam 😎

This world needs men like sasha’s Daddy I clapped my hands for sasha too ❤ this movie is incredible.

This was like a youtube special with Anna Akana headlining a movie and Pomplamoose singing the end credits, so very cool! So my parents came from mainland China and their early teens were spent dodging the Japanese during WWII and they came out unscathed and came to the U.S. (fun fact my Dad was in the army stationed in Germany the same time Elvis was there and although he never met him, he saw the impact he had even in a foreign country). My dad worked hard in my youth and I never saw him that much even though we were in the same house. I didn't resent it until later in my adult life and I never appreciated his sacrifice until later in my adult life. He never cheated on my mom, never gambled, never drank and had his three sons financially setup for college. I really appreciated the nuance of the movie setting up the father as a flawed character at odds with his children. The parental sacrifice and their understanding if their children want to follow a different path is so relevant. Thanks Dad, you're the best!

This is why I love Chinese movies I learn more about business. The respect and order just out of this world

I'm an Indian and I respect this movie for being realistic and showing the rat race of capitalism. At the end of the day we are all trying to survive. ❤ Lot's of love. ✨

This is a great movie...they have staff from Philippines...attitude,morale,respect And values are learned from this movie.

Surprisingly spot on with so many things that I experienced/witnessed while a grad student in Taiwan and working at a factory that yes, made toys for a huge not-to-be-named company. Very well done. Thank you!

I Loooveee this movie. I enjoyed this movie story so realistic and based from Chinese norms for centuries. After I watch I felt I received a seminar about business mgmt. on a family enterprise. On top of it all, a new perspective to establish nicer relationship of siblings from multiple wives. That father could have intentionally treated them all equally tough, drove them to challenge him in unison and let each siblings DNA do the rest. I think a parent on a late stage of life has a lot to worry if anyone of his children is a stranger or not in harmony/disarray, even worst seeing them in chaos over inheritances.

I didn't want this movie to end

this was much better than i expected… the story was very engaging and reminded me of people in my life

This movie is so professionally produced and directed. I guess I thought it was just a comedy KZfaqr making a little movie. Well done! And a wonderful story. The whole factory setting is completely real, including the dining hall, the sewing room, the cutting room, just not the final scene. As far as I know, there are still no real factories in China that offer daycare for the children of their migrant workers.

Wow! its really a good movie that full of lesson in life, its realistic about family issues, its really difficult to handle a family business with a blood relate that the truth. the actors are so good... Thumbs up!

This movie is like how the old 80s great movies were. Great Life Lessons on the big screen. its also doubly fun for me because i know all the languages spoken.

i love how every detail was so well put together. especially the whole dynamic of an asian father and his daughter with both their perspectives and worldviews. the flaws and consequences, genuine and thoughtful, really refreshing to see.

Let go some few tears every now and then throughout the movie. What a wonderful movie!❤️

52:33 Every kid that has an asian parents spends their entire life waiting for this exact moment. "good job"

I really love this movie.. I really like how shasha tackles all the tough situations ❤

Really good message in this movie.. The only nature of capitalism is cruel to people... Hope it's addressed one day.

I REALLY LOVE THIS MOVIE.THERES SO MUCH TO LEARN FROM IT.THANK YOU SO MUCH

I was not expecting much, but it is indeed a very good movie.

This is uncanny movie on so many levels. I'm smiling for a real reason.

Not sure if it’s been already mentioned, but the dad, actor Richard Ng, passed away in April this year🙏. I just watched the movie for the first time as it came up free here on KZfaq. It was actually enjoyable 😊.

What a wonderful movie... A few details that my OCD forces me to mention... Toys are made in Shantou, not the nearby factory towns of ShenZhen, though the language is Cantonese at both places. Secondly for design inspiration one hops to Japan or Korea, not HongKong. Loved the work nonetheless... p.s. my consultancy services are available for the next project or any kind of sourcing needs or commercial contract placement/enforcement from Mainland China😊😊 P.P.s. Anna is such a cutie, I love her 😊

This Movie was good. It Teaches People To Be Thankful For What You Have . And Never forget about others. Money is not everything 🍿🌹

Very good story. Made me look at China in a much finer way, I enjoyed 'living' the story of this girl from the western side. I enjoyed this film. Congratulations.

Shasha forgot her VPN subscription, LOL. Great movie, actually! And the reality of overseas Filipino workers is so strong in this movie. I'm cutting onions 🥹🥹🥹

I adored this movie, Sasha has really an amazing heart ! For sure she’ll become an excellent professional.

Loved it. I usually watch historical Chinese dramas or rom-coms. But this one was really good. Highly recommend

So happy to chance upon this movie! Really touching and bring across a great message to all kids across the globe. Lessons for parents too! Acting was superb... of course with famous HKG comedian actor, Richard Ng. His English is good!

Childcare, homecare that's one of my dreams for Filipinos who are working too hard. Once upon a time leaving my daughter while I'm working was one of my nightmares. Now she's 22 yr. old and she's a great daughter. Also I saw many ppl who can work but can never leave their old parents.

There's something very likeable about this movie. U don't know what it is but it has some niceness in there & u just keep watching & enjoying it 👍👍

Anna, I have watched many of you're videos, and I have enjoyed them. But I never had a clue that you are this talented. On many levels, I loved this movie. Social responsibility, social awareness, generational differences, family dysfunction, healing, redemption, forgiveness and love, all tied together in a heartwarming story. Again I say, I loved it! ❤

What a lovely movie! I have lived in China and teach English online. I really enjoyed it!

Good movie, thanks for posting it. Sasha's dad looks like my papa! I'm glad she went back to do the responsible thing and help correct her expensive mistake with the scarf; she redeemed herself from being just a spoiled brat.

This is an eye opening movie that covers many things, u will laugh, cry and be shocked and see also how little things to a certain culture of people can make a big difference. Some countries have things easier than others but don't see it until watching this movie and I do love the relationship between the two in the end and how he just wanted the best for her but she couldn't see it until her eyes were really opened . Great movie to watch xo ❤

This was so relatable ... many filipinos sacrifice leaving their family to look for work abroad....

This was the most sincere movie I've seen lately :) World is a strange place, so is the family sometimes. And some things are not what they seem sometimes. I liked all the actors here. I hope I see them somewhere again.

The story is so nice and the characters are very good in acting even my kababayan's😍from the Philippines..

I love this movie.. heartfelt and very wholesome..

can't believe i burst into tears at the end, what a touching story and full of surprises throughout. highly recommend!

Haven’t finished the movie yet but already relating so much. I’m Filipina, Chinese, and African. I’m feeling all the feels from the Chinese side of money and Filipino side of the help.

Loved watching. The father is great actor

Thanks to KZfaq for this movie. It was riveting! The human cost of business, not just in China, can make us all consider how we live & what we take for granted. Family, friends, generosity, compassion, are worth more than money. Make more movies, please!

A very inspirational movie for ambitious business minded people, a true fact that working villagers can only see their children once a year, hopefully the ending of this movie will inspire factory owners with the same idea.

Sasha doesn't know this but she's just like her dad, I love her she's creative and she ventures out of her comfort

i lived and worked in Shenzhen 2008-2012 and Shanghai 2017-18 and agree this feels fairly authentic. My kids were invited to be playmates with a rich Chinese business owner's kids and he had the whole mistress thing going just like this dad. Gregarious but probably a big jerk too. Sad the culture created such a reality. Makes me miss China, but I fear it's losing a lot of the good from the time I was there. Also sad. I came across this movie right after watching the one about Hong Kong. Both great simple films.

Wow!!! 10/10 This has been a PERFECT example of not just Asian but a Global Family Value! It has also given a balance on how Filipinos should be portrayed. Not just Domestic Helpers but can excel also on Corporate think tanks. Kudos Producers, Director and Actors.🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

This is a very nice story. There may not be a perfect parent, but they always do the hard work for their children. We don't have to blame our parents for their flaws because we are the one responsible for our choice in life.

What a beautifully done movie. Love it!
