    Lets us in on vulnerability

    A short mainly about a woman's insecurity over a small black mole that's above her right breast, with another dimension provided in how Asian women in particular have been fetishized by the West. For the former, there are shots of the young woman trying to rub the mole away while showering, and trying to cover it with concealing cream, to background questions from an interviewer, e.g. When she first noticed it, etc. For the latter, cringe-worthy clips from The World of Suzie Wong (1960) are interspersed with the young woman examining herself in the mirror and a glimpse into her own interracial relationship. I can't say that the film probes either of these things in a deep way, but it lets us in on the sense of vulnerability for a woman who would almost certainly be viewed as beautiful by strangers, as well the burden in the western world she carries because of stereotypes.
