SYNOPSIS: 

 inspired by the story of my grandmother’s immigration, Bright Eyes and Steady Hands is about a woman who left for the US, denying her dreams to become a writer for the plan her father had laid out for her. During the film, the woman’s daughter translates her poetry between nursing shifts, and understands her mother’s yearning for her to quit and pursue a career in music.
