Rosemead is a 2025 American crime drama film directed by Eric Lin, starring Lucy Liu as a Chinese-American mother navigating a devastating secret about her teenage son — a story rooted in the realities of immigrant family life, loyalty, and the weight of silence. Inspired by true events.

What is Rosemead about?

A Chinese-American woman living in suburban Los Angeles is already struggling with a serious illness when she stumbles across disturbing evidence pointing to her teenage son's hidden violent impulses. Torn between protecting the child she has raised and shielding others from potential harm, she must make decisions that push her beyond every moral and emotional boundary she has ever known. The film unfolds quietly but with mounting dread, tracing a mother's impossible choice within the closed world of an immigrant household — one where shame, love, and survival constantly collide. Crucially, it asks how far a parent will go to keep the family intact when the family itself becomes the danger.

Cast & crew

Lucy Liu leads the film with quiet, controlled intensity — a long-celebrated actor known across global cinema and television, here taking on one of her most interior and demanding roles. Lawrence Shou plays the troubled son at the story's moral centre, while Orion Lee and Jennifer Lim round out a cast assembled with clear attention to authentic Chinese-American representation.

Context & significance

For Persian-speaking audiences in the diaspora, Rosemead speaks directly to experiences many have lived: the double life of an immigrant household, the gap between what is shown to the outside world and what festers behind closed doors, the fierce instinct to protect one's children even at personal cost. The Chinese-American community portrayed here shares much with the Iranian-diaspora experience — questions of cultural identity, generational conflict, and the pressure to maintain respectability. The film is available with a Persian dub and Persian subtitles on K-Time, meaning you can watch it in your own language without any barriers.
