Last Summer of Nathan Lee
Nathan Lee (Harrison Xu), a Chinese American teenager, finds out that he has brain cancer right before he turns 18 and vows to live the remains of his life with passion… and refuses to die a virgin.
Knowing that his gay best friend, Dash (Matthew Mitchell Espinosa), wants to become a filmmaker, Nathan offers himself as a documentary subject to Dash, who is also in love with Nathan. Nathan and Dash decide to document as much of his remaining life as possible.
Without reservation, Nathan experiments sexually and falls in love with Lorelei (Natasha Tina Liu), another high school friend. As Nathan realizes he cannot reciprocate Dash’s true love, he decides to marry Dash, a Dreamer Immigrant, and gifts him American citizenship.
