-Maleesa Phommavongsay, Ac., is an acupuncturist at “La Vie est Qi” clinic located in Lasalle, Montreal. (www.lavieestqi.com) She recently finished years of studies in traditional asian medecine at the “Collège de Rosemont”, the only official establishment to offer the acupuncture program and license in Quebec province. After finishing a bachelor in psychology and working for a few years with underpriviledged youth, she decided to broaden up her accompanying skills to include health related matters only to find out that her ancestors were very fond of traditional medicines (herbal saunas, cupping, post-birthing rituals, etc.). She can be contacted at maleesa@lavieestqi.com

Situating us among Emily's extended Chinese Malaysian family, the film moves from big cities to tiny hamlets. Meanwhile, the birds, ever-present, act as a conduit between Emily and her family members, prompting conversations about family, home, and heritage.
