"In 2008, during the last month of summer before high school begins, an impressionable 13-year-old Taiwanese American boy learns what his family can’t teach him: how to skate, how to flirt, and how to love your mom."
DÌDI means 'little brother' in Mandarin; but beyond that, DÌDI is used an an endearing term that many Chinese parents call their younger sons.
Sean Wang, the director of the film, is a DÌDI himself. Wang shares that this film is "an ode to the joy and chaos of adolescence, it is a thank you, I’m sorry, and I love you to the immigrant mothers that raise us, and it is an examination of how it feels to learn to love yourself during a time when the world says you are unworthy of it."
Sean Wang is also the director of the short film "NǍI NAI AND WÀI PÓ."
