"5 Lessons in Happiness: She is my Father" plunges into the chaotic life of Hsiang, a comedian navigating her gender transition. Her world is upended when Ling, her 18-year-old daughter whom she hasn't seen in a decade, calls, unexpectedly pregnant and seeking shelter in Taipei. Ling arrives, completely unaware that her father is now a "she" and living with her boyfriend.

Fearing Ling's reaction to her transition, Hsiang hatches a desperate scheme. She convinces her boyfriend to pretend to be Ling's father, while Hsiang assumes the role of his girlfriend. This precarious deception sets the stage for a poignant and comedic journey. As Hsiang struggles to maintain the elaborate charade, the film explores profound questions of identity, acceptance, and parental love. Will Hsiang find a way to connect with Ling amidst the lies, and ultimately, can she reveal herself as Ling's true mother?
