Him coughs on the smoke of the incense she lights as she bows to a temporary altar in her kitchen in Carrollton, Texas. Ma is propped up on a hospital bed, where she is unceremoniously dying. Sophea isn’t around, but is it her fate or her fault?, a family gathers under pretext of marriage to celebrate their beloved matriarch, who, unbeknownst to her, is terminally ill.
“The day I found you . . . I’m ashamed to say this, I probably should not say it, but I’m going to say it . . . I didn’t recognize you, gkoun,” admits Ma shortly before she passes, recalling the moment in late 1970s Cambodia when she and Him were reunited during the genocide that killed a quarter of the country’s population.
Death is no conclusion for a woman like Ma who haunts her daughters clad in varicolored ensembles for the Asian woman who’s 65 but looks 45 and leaves behind gold lavalieres to string her teeth upon. Everyone has a memory of Ma. Ma meditated with Nate. Ma befriended Seth , the college student/Syrian refugee who mows the lawn and accompanies Him to chemo and becomes buddies with Sophea, even though, like his own American-born younger sister, “she sucks.
“Ma used to say because the Khmer Rouge invaded on the new year . . . we’ve learned to mourn and celebrate in the same breath,” says Sophea.
