I'm Seducible

Synopsis of I'm Seducible

In the mid-1980s thousands of Chinese came to study in the United States. San Francisco is a glow with chance for a young artist from China, and Shi-Wei recasts her life in the new openness she finds in the West. She surrenders herself to sensual curiosity with a Caucasian, an acquaintance. But what about her longing for her boyfriend in China, who impulsively decides to join her in America "to be with you, to struggle next to you side-by-side"? As she embraces one intimate tie and resumes another, Shi-Wei is entwined in the clutter of love and need.... The film's director notes, "I'm Seducible is a story of self-seduction, a woman's haunted search for herself in others: life moving one way, mind floating another."
