Dìdi is a heartfelt, funny and honest coming-of-age tale.

In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13 year old Taiwanese American boy (Izaac Wang) learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom.

Sean Wang’s feature directorial debut following the Oscar® nominated short documentary Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó and winner of the Audience and Jury Awards at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
