"Chinese people has a saying describing crying woman. Li Hua Dai Yu. Raindrops on a white pear flower. I always wanted to have a girl like that. So soft, so protected. So beautiful."

It is 2005 in London. Things were still going uphill. Lily Wei was still working in a dingy diner in Chinatown. 20 miles from her home, her daughter Evelyn Wei was waking up in a construction site for her yet unbuilt home, waking up from a nap she supposedly took 20 years later.
She didn't know what happened, and frankly, she didn't care. All she knew is she's got to act fast, before her mother did what she was going to do.

Raindrops on a White Pear Blossom follows a mother and a daughter as they untangle their past, present, and future, trying to wrangle free of each other's wraiths while sinking deeper and deeper. As the parent-child dynamic is flipped on its head, Raindrops asks the question every parent is afraid to hear: When is it time to let go?
