Synopsis:“To avoid, or to confront? To deny, or to embrace? To give up, or to make a change?” The film begins with an old man who has long been absent as a father (Eric TSANG), picking up his son (Shawn YUE), who is suffering from bipolar disorder, from a mental hospital. Both men are in deep remorse for the accident that caused the death of the mother (Elaine JIN). The tension and anxiety boil as they stay with each other in a tiny subdivided flat. As time passes, they realize the pain between one another is not the only confrontation that awaits them; but also to face the cruel and unjust world that they are living in.

Synopsis:

A mountainside port, where rain never stops; an old neighborhood about to face demolition. Cloudy is in her sixties and has never been married. She is taking care of her frail mother all by herself. Their co-dependent relationship appears to be more like mutual torture. On this day, Cloudy is sexually assaulted by a group of teenage burglars. And it’s all because of her mother.
