Believe it or not, childhood traumas are real, and it keeps haunting us over time, but we are the only ones who can save ourselves. High school teacher Cheng looks back to his repressed childhood memories, as he finds an anonymous suicide note in his classroom. While at the same time he is facing a series of family problems, he strives hard to prevent the tragedy from happening. Produced by renowned director Derek Yee, Nick Cheuk’s directorial debut interrogates generational traumas in nuclear families through addressing student suicide tragedies in Hong Kong in recent years.
