Yuen (Sasha CHUK) and her younger sister Kuet (Angela YUEN) move from Hunan to Hong Kong with their family at a young age. The sisters grow up in a cramped public housing flat, with a mother who toils diligently and holds fast to her principles, while their father (WU Kang-ren) struggles with long-term drug addiction and cycles in and out of prison. From childhood to adulthood, two decades pass in the blink of an eye. Yuen believes that if she runs far and hard enough, she could sever all ties with the past — but memory threads everyone together, and every love and hurt alike always leave a trace.
