While the family wants to spend time with Nai Nai before she dies, they also decide to hide her diagnosis from her. To bring everyone together without arousing suspicion, they stage a wedding for Billi's cousin in their hometown. Throughout the visit, Billi struggles to reconcile her Western belief in individual autonomy with her family's Chinese belief that it is their duty to shield Nai Nai from the burden of the truth. - ![[The Farewell - Chinese people have saying "When people get cancer they die."]]
