A Middle Passage
by Yide Cai

In an isolated drive-thru suspended from the outside world, three generations of an immigrant family work tirelessly to fulfill orders no one sees.

As Grandma recounts memories from a lost homeland, language and time begin to blur, unsettling the rhythm of their lives.

When strange frozen items appear and the temperature plummets, they must huddle together to survive.

A surreal and haunting exploration of cultural memory, familial love and survival, A Middle Passage captures the quiet ache of being in-between.
