A young Chinese filmmaker in search for himself returns from New York City to his hometown Wenzhou, not feeling at home anywhere anymore. Through the camera lens, his distant gaze seems to be given justification and courage. A long due conversation with his mother dives the two of them into a quest for acceptance and love. Will You Look At Me, is a personal essay on fear, silence, and love.
