Synopsis

Divorced café owner Kayan lives with her daughter Tung Tung. Her life is renewed after meeting her lesbian partner Shuting who becomes part of the loving family. When Kayan dies in a tragic car accident, the grieving Shuting wants to continue taking care of Tung but encounters strong opposition from Kayan's mother. At Kayan's funeral, due to social norms and taboos, Shuting is completely sidelined and stripped of the privilege to bid farewell to the love of her life. She faces yet another dilemma, having to make the decision to do what is best for Tung Tung.

☆ There is no right or wrong when it comes to love, but shame and stigma can make a person feel stained by love.
☆ Hong Kong Film Awards nominee Hedwig Tam delivers a heart-wrenching performance of a person grappling with loss, earning rave reviews from audiences.
