A young woman in the foreground, a man in the background, against a yellow sun

In 1898, on Angel Island, Eddie Loi faces deportation amid America’s tightening immigration laws. A century later, her great-grandson Braulio inadvertently conjures her spirit — unleashing a witty, opinionated ancestor. By 2063, their descendants embark on a perilous journey seeking sanctuary. From detention to diaspora, Mother of Exiles follows a single family’s century-and-a-half odyssey. Jessica Huang’s multigenerational triptych blends historical drama with supernatural encounters, weaving moments of humor into a powerful portrait of belonging and resilience.
