After receiving a rejection letter for a Guggenheim Fellowship, Billi discovers from her parents, Haiyan and Jian, that Nai Nai has been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer, and is predicted to have only a few months left to live.

Nai Nai is, instead, falsely told that her recent doctor visits have only revealed benign findings.

A wedding for Billis cousin from Japan, Hao Hao, has been planned in China as an excuse to unite the family to spend what is expected to be one last time with Nai Nai.

Fearing Billi will end up exposing the lie to her grandmother, Haiyan and Jian tell her to remain in New York City.

Billi assures her parents that she will not reveal the cancer diagnosis to Nai Nai.

Throughout the trip, however, she clashes with the rest of the family over their deliberate dishonesty towards her grandmother.

Guilt-ridden, Billi expresses conflicted thoughts with her parents over the Chinese cultural beliefs that result in a family refusing to disclose a life-threatening disease.

One night, her uncle, Haibin, contends that the lie allows the family to bear the emotional burden of the diagnosis, rather than Nai Nai herselfa practice of collectivism that Haibin acknowledges differs from the individualistic values common in Western culture.

Billi intercepts Nai Nais medical test results from the hospital and has it altered to reflect a clean bill of health, helping to maintain the lie.

That night, Nai Nai gives Billi a hngbo, encouraging her to spend the money as she chooses.

Billi admits that she wants to stay in Changchun to spend more time with Nai Nai, but Nai Nai declines, telling her that she needs to live her own life.

When Billi reveals the Guggenheim Fellowship rejection to her, Nai Nai encourages Billi to keep an open mind and not get hung up on this failure, rather than be the bull endlessly ramming its horns into the corner of the room.

She says that life is not about what things one does, but more so about how one goes about doing them.

She shares a tearful goodbye with Nai Nai as the visiting family members return to their homes in Japan and America.

The credits reveal that six years after her diagnosis, the woman Nai Nais character was based on is still alive.

Thats just the nature of being an immigrant and straddling two cultures.

It was awkward to keep the secret when the grandmother visited the filming, a block from her home.
