Swayed by the prospect of attention from both her image-obsessive mother and a cute boy, Lenny, a Filipino-American girl, concedes to using a skin-lightening cream at the price of her identity. The comedy Bleached follows the journey of Lenny to reclaim herself from the struggles in relation to beauty, race, and American identity.
