A trans equestrian prepares for a career-defining National Championship in the elite world of showjumping that has never embraced him or his Chinese Malaysian father. When Western riding’s golden boy crashes onto his path, their rivalry ignites a reckoning with desire, family, and tradition. A queer, lyrical reimagining of the Chinese Legend of the Butterfly Lovers, I Think I Was Born Missing You asks how we carve out a life amid the legacies we inherit and the dreams we long for.

When the patriarch of a Cantonese family dies, he leaves behind a mysterious journal to his grandchild, Benji Lau. Benji hasn’t been back home in years, not since he came out as trans and stepped out of his twin sister’s shadow. To solve the mystery of this final gift, Benji must move in with his widowed grandmother and excavate a past that stretches back to 1950s Hong Kong.
