Short description

"Don't go out on the night of the Ghost Festival." A warning that all children with Chinese mothers are all too familiar with. 18-year-old Ming feels like the only weirdo in the small German town. On this midsummer night, after a disastrous party, she stumbles upon strange beings... In this surreal moment, she realizes who she truly is.
