Synopsis
Last Summer of Nathan Lee
Nathan Lee, an AAPI teenager, finds out that he has brain cancer right before he turns 18 and vows to live the remains of his life with passion… And refuses to die a virgin. Knowing that his gay best friend, Dash, wants to become a filmmaker, Nathan offers himself as a documentary subject to Dash, who is also in love with Nathan. Nathan and Dash decide to document as much of his remaining life as possible.
What We Wanted to Be
An impossible love story that begins outside a movie theater, continues in a café and could end with the two protagonists together… if real life wasn’t much more complicated than the movies. United by their love of cinema, these two main characters decide to live the lives they dreamed of and not the lives they are destined to live. In a series of encounters, imagination triumphs over reality and everyday reality takes a back seat.
