- Synopsis
- Respected pharmacist/strict tiger mom CUC has devoted her life to maintaining a perfect family image. She wants her children to have stable careers, get married, and have children like others. However, her dream shatters when her daughter MAI is diagnosed with schizophrenia and her son QUANG comes out to her. While MAI struggles with her visions—at best whimsical but at worst violent—QUANG gradually distances himself from the family constraints that prevent him from being himself. Dysfunctionality becomes the norm until MAI gets pregnant, unexpectedly. Seeing the formation of a new cycle of motherhood, QUANG picks up his camera and starts making a time capsule—this very film. He documents how the trio prepares to raise the baby and opens a portal to the past through their diaries. Will they be able to learn to understand and accept each other through this process?
