Brutally honest and unrelenting, Redefining Home challenges our notions of identity, political correctness, and family expectations. Follow an Indian American couple who consider wearing politically sensitive costumes to a Halloween party; an argument between a daughter in America and her mother in China over her film career prospects; a white 4th grader who identifies as Asian on a standardized test; two aspiring TV actors who help each other audition for roles neither stereotypical nor demeaning. These shorts beckon us to reexamine our preconceptions.
