More About This Film

My Dear Dear Home is a Swiss-Chinese documentary in which filmmaker Yue Ran returns home after marrying her wife in Switzerland and confronts the quiet tensions that have developed between her and her mother. Their conversations open into a broader examination of marriage, gender, family expectations, and the things they have struggled to say.

The film is intimate and autobiographical, using the filmmaker's own family relationship as the lens for a larger intergenerational story. Rather than presenting a broad survey, it stays close to two women trying to understand one another across cultural and generational differences.
