Happy New Year from BACCS Cinema!
To kick off 2026, BACCS Cinema is proud to present Rosemead, starring Lucy Liu. Select screenings will feature an in-person Q&A with lead actor Lawrence Shou, and audiences will also have the chance to participate in a social media giveaway for a signed Lucy Liu poster.
Based on a true story inspired by the Los Angeles Times’s award-winning report, “A Dying Mother’s Plan”, Rosemead is a gripping, emotionally charged portrait of a mother’s love pushed to its limits.
Synopsis
The film centers on a Chinese immigrant family in a small town east of Los Angeles. In the summer of 2015, shortly after her husband passed away from a brain tumor, Ireneโa Chinese immigrant who runs a small printing shopโis also diagnosed with cancer. In the final months of her life, facing a son with schizophrenia who has become increasingly obsessed with school shooting news, she makes a decision that shocks everyone.
Urgent and unflinching, Rosemead wrestles with themes of identity, mental health and the immigrant experience in America, capturing the dissonance between cultural expectation and personal crisis. At a time when questions around gun violence, parenting and belonging feel more pressing than ever, this powerful film resonates deeply, offering a rare and necessary lens into the quiet tragedies unfolding in communities too often overlooked.
