Filipinos share many cultural touchstones with other Asian societies: filial piety, respect for elders, the concept of "saving face," and the importance of family gatherings centered around food. However, the execution of these values differs wildly. A story about a Filipina nurse moving to Taiwan to care for an elderly man, only to fall in love with his stoic but soft-hearted son, creates a rich tapestry of conflict and connection. They understand why family is important, but they clash over how to show it.
