A comatose, mixed-race Chinese American woman, dreams. Her body has become a hotel. She must navigate each room of her body, each room of her trauma, in order to heal. The Game Show Host throws her into suites, making her repeat the pattern of painful love. The Therapist says that the exit is "through the mirrors' reflection." Is her reflection her long-term boyfriend who shares the same trauma as her? Maybe it’s her fling, who has the same physical scar? What about that other girl, next to the Willow Tree painting? Toilets are broken and overflow. Pools freeze over and it starts to snow. Her abusive mother, raised in China when corporal punishment was allowed in the school system, is in the basement. Sometimes, she turns into a rock star. We heal by being seen, but adding the layer of social media, how do we form authentic ties in a society that makes it difficult to connect? This is one character's journey back to loving herself by seeking validation within.
