Miss Andy (Chinese: 迷失安狄; pinyin: Míshī Āndí) is a 2020 Taiwanese and Malaysian gender-themed film directed by Teddy Chin, and stars Lee Lee-zen, Ruby Lin, and Jack Tan.[2] It is about the chance meeting between an illegal Vietnamese worker and a transgender woman in Malaysia.[3] The film is Ruby Lin's first foray into film production.

Synopsis

Meet Evon, formerly known as Andy. She is a transgender woman aged 55 years. Making the transition late in life after losing a wife, her job and family, she also becomes subject to prejudice in a society where transgender and gay people face job discrimination and run the risk of being murdered. When she loses her best friend, things look bleak, but a chance meeting with a mother and a son with nowhere to go and nobody to care for them after they escape an abusive relationship changes her life in this melancholy yet hopeful film that shows how tending to the humanity in others and showing kindness are important for making life bearable.[5]
