Summer, 2003. The SARS epidemic is easing, school resumes. Hau-Ching overhears her crush Tsz-Hin complimenting another girl’s glasses. To get a pair of glasses, Hau-Ching tries all kinds of tricks to become shortsighted. Behind this budding love looms the persistent threat of the epidemic, and the quiet unravelling of the fragile family fabric. As Hau-Ching pretends to lose focus of things around her, the obscure picture of her absent parents becomes ever more apparent. A bittersweet coming-of-age tale featuring Sean WONG Tsz-lok, Golden Horse Award 2023 for Best Supporting Actor nominee for Time Still Turns the Pages (2023).
