Ephemera

In post-pandemic Shanghai, Asher, a 23-year-old Chinese-American actress, impulsively invites her charismatic hip-hop dance teacher, Tori, out for a coffee. The spontaneous connection evolves into a 24-hour, whirling, lesbian date night where together they wander around, play and explore the city. There's just one small problem: Asher has to move back to Los Angeles the next morning.
