Synopsis

"Pushing Hands" is a film directed by Ang Lee that tells the story of an elderly Chinese Tai Chi master named Mr. Chu. After his wife passes away, he moves to the United States to live with his son, Alex, and his American wife, Martha. However, Mr. Chu struggles to adapt to the American way of life and clashes with his son and daughter-in-law.

As tensions rise between the three family members, Mr. Chu finds solace in teaching Tai Chi to a young neighbor named Emily. Through their interactions, Mr. Chu learns to navigate the cultural differences between China and America and finds a sense of belonging in his new home.

The film explores themes of family, tradition, and the challenges of assimilation, as Mr. Chu and his family navigate their relationships and find common ground despite their differences.
