SYNOPSIS
This film explores the intertwining complexity of the emotional consequences of a traumatic event
and one’s overwhelming need for human connection. Junjun, a 12-year old kid, re-experiences the night
when he accidentally stabbed his abusive father during a confrontation, and witnessed his mother killed
his father when the latter attempted to kill him (Junjun). Confused that he is, he went back as far as the
internment, the burial and the trial, re-experiencing it in a bizarre way, and later realized that it had
been a year after the tragic death that came in to their family.
