My Home on the Moon
From the windows of an old pho restaurant, Mai watches her neighborhood get gentrified, storefront by storefront. Just as the restaurant seems doomed to close, a mysterious tech consultant arrives, helping Mai put the noodle shop on a path to glory. But as Mai discovers the truth of this tasty new reality, she is taken on an adventure through the metaverse filled with Vietnamese cuisine and love.

"Lee’s 'My Home on the Moon' prompts reflections on AI, what is reality, and how can we keep our cultural identity in a changing world controlled by corporations. A must see."
