description: Set in the early 1990s, Chinese Astrology recounts the transition of Martha Lee from neuroses to self-awareness. Growing up as a local Asian in Hawaii, 25 year-old Martha confronts issues of ethnic identity and racism through her roommates - Tomiko Horii from Tokyo and Jody Yashimi from California and her first "boyfriend," Ethan Puccini. Attempting to be the antithesis of the traditionally demure, passive Asian woman, outspoken, judgmental Martha finds that she is really not that different from the stereotypes she despises after all.
