Ice Cream, Ice Queen

Ice Cream, Ice Queen

Directed By Jeremy Tianyu Chi

USA | Narrative | 18 min

East Coast Premiere

Rosemary, a Chinese businesswoman who moved to New York for her son’s high school education, has found companionship in the last place she expected: Annie, her son’s young violin teacher, and whose queerness hints at a life very different from her own.

One day, a surprise visit from Annie sets the stage for a conversation that gently edges into vulnerability. As the night deepens, so does the tension between the two women, leaving Rosemary to navigate the blurry line between friendship, longing, and the loneliness of a life put on pause.
