Dear Ex (誰先愛上他的)
Feature film, 100 minutes | 7:00 p.m. @ Price Center Theatre

What initially begins as a story of grief and betrayal slowly reveals a touching exploration of acceptance and sacrifice. At times heartbreaking, ironic, and playful, Dear Ex looks at the complexity of three people who must navigate strange living arrangements, fresh grief, and new definitions for love.
