Synopsis:
In contemporary Singapore, 21-year-old Junyang lives in the ease of youth while his father struggles to hold their modest life together. When Junyang’s relationship with his girlfriend takes an unexpected and life-altering turn, the young couple is forced to face the realities of adulthood far sooner than anticipated. At the same time, an exuberant woman enters his father’s life and heart, quietly reshaping the fragile balance between father and son. As both generations confront love, loss and responsibility, they must redefine what family means—and learn to live with the imperfect bonds between those we are born to and those we choose.
