Eve and the Firehorse

I watched this movie last night. Got me crying less than 20 minutes into the movie

Here is the summary of the movie:

Eve is a precious nine-year-old growing up in a Vancouver Chinese immigrant family where Confucian doctrines, superstitious obsessions, and divine visions abound. When Buddhism and Catholicism are thrown into the mix, life for Eve and her prim authoritative sister, Karena, escalates into a fantasia of catastrophe, sainthood, and cultural confusion.

This is a good movie. Reminds me of many of my students who are "second" culture kids.
