 An Asian college student, Melissa (Melissa Coppola), is living her life with a secret- she is bulimic. After her roommate (Pamela Skidmore) finds out, Melissa s life is turned upside down, and she flees to her grandmother s (Joanne Cheng) for safety. However, it is there that her grandmother brushes it off as an easy obstacle to overcome. In the end, Melissa s story ends like so many bulimics - a story so revolting and true that the film almost looks like a documentary. With a dogmatic filming and editing style and complimented by the melancholy music of Xiu Xiu, director Corey Smith has created a film that realistically examines the motives behind young women with bulimia, as well as the misunderstandings between different generations about the disease.
