Steven, a 60-year-old American cashier with a lifelong fascination for marrying a younger Asian woman, meets Sandy, a 30-year-old from Anhui, China, through an online dating site. This intimate and compelling documentary follows their complex, sometimes humorous, and emotionally revealing journey as Sandy relocates to America to marry Steven, confronting enormous cultural barriers, language differences, and the stark reality of their age-gap relationship.
Filmmaker Debbie Lum, initially aiming to create an exposé of Steven's "yellow fever," finds herself deeply involved in the story, becoming a translator and mediator as the couple navigates their tumultuous relationship.
Originally aired on PBS's Independent Lens, Seeking Asian Female explores the intricacies of modern love, cultural expectations, and personal transformation.
