an 18 year old girl being dropped off at her freshman dorm by her Chinese father; she sees college as an opportunity to become her own person and to build a life that isn’t cluttered with things (which her dad has made her feel her whole life) but filled with meaningful relationships; but just when she thinks she’s gained the distance she needs from her father to do this, she realizes how much their relationship means to her.

Dropping off his daughter Vivian at her freshman college dorm; while Vivian’s life is about to get more full, Dad’s is getting emptier; he is losing the thing which brings him most joy and life; Dad shows his love for Vivian by providing for her and meeting her material needs, mostly because he doesn't know how to connect with her on a deeper level; his desire to provide for her, while mostly selfless, is also his attempt to stay connected to his daughter and feel that she is still dependent on him.
