On the night of her first major film premiere, a Chinese-Canadian actress invites her mother as her plus-one. But in the ten real-time minutes before they leave the house, tensions quietly simmer. As the daughter rushes to get ready, her mother hesitates – uncertain how to show up without embarrassing her. Told in a single continuous shot and bookended by the surreal point of view of a tapeworm living inside the mother’s body, Tapeworm Diaries is an intimate, experimental drama about miscommunication, memory, and the unspoken love that lives in silence, shame, and care.
Directed by Kayla Cao (Canada)
