Aroview: Veteran Chinese actress Tsai Chin (THE JOY LUCK CLUB) plays a cranky, chain-smoking, 86-year-old Grandma in this feisty comedy set in New York's Chinatown.

After spending her life making an honest living and still not being able to afford her apartment, she steals a bag of cash from the Chinese Mafia and quickly finds herself in over her head. Boasting an all-female crew of filmmakers, this is a refreshing film uniquely posed to shift the mainstream appetite.
