Director Statement: 

A parent’s care and concern over his/her child is often manifested in many ways. In our asian society, the love language our parents have is often not in words or touch but in the small gestures that they do for us. As we grow up in different generations, facing different environments and influences, our hopes and dreams may not align with our parents’ hopes and dreams for us. For those of us who have insisted in choosing a path less travelled and we have to succeed, did we make the wrong decision? Did we disappoint our parents? In this film, we explored the regrets one may have in making bold decisions towards ourselves and our parents. Beyond dreams and aspirations, perhaps there lies a bigger purpose in life.
