NC16 / Mandarin / Drama / 96 min
Sunny (Frederick Lee), a film director, returns to his hometown (Penang) to shoot a new film, an autobiography about his family, without his family’s knowledge. It has been years since he was last home, and his family members – older sister Hoon (Yeo Yann Yann), aunts Grace (Sue Tan) and Vivian (Tan Ai Suan), and old schoolmates are excited to see him, thinking that he’s been living a rich and successful life in Kuala Lumpur. But in reality, Sunny drives a beat-up car, has relationship problems, and is running out of money for his new film. While trying to film his family’s story, Sunny is forced to confront and relive his past. In the end, the filmmaking process becomes a cathartic exercise for him, inadvertently opening old wounds, exorcising anger and guilt, and most of all, showing him that true love is about sacrifice.
