Directed by Alice Wu (who later directed The Half of It for Netflix), Saving Face stars Joan Chen ( Twin Peaks ) as Hwei-Lan Gao, a traditional widow, and Michelle Krusiec as Wilhelmina "Wil" Pang, a young, closeted surgeon. The plot is classic romantic comedy chaos: Wil, a 28-year-old living a double life, suddenly has her 48-year-old unmarried mother show up pregnant on her doorstep, refusing to name the father. Meanwhile, Wil falls for Vivian Shing (Lynn Chen), a beautiful ballet dancer.
