Pushing Hands (1992) (original) (raw)

Master Chu is a retired Tai-Chi master who moves to Westchester, New York to live out his twilight years with his son Alex. But Alex's wife Martha has difficulties dealing with her new houseguest, and vice versa. The minor struggles and difficulties of multiple generations living beneath one roof is further compounded by the existence of their differing cultures. Ultimately the individuals must work towards a mutual understanding, which is more about shared humanity than any individual identity.
