Trivial is though the nature of emotions in high school, they give way to distortions in personality that may last years. As a father searches to understand the tragedy of his son's suicide the film follows a parallel narrative where incidents leading up to the suicide are seen. It begins with three friends talking and living as boys of this age will. Their minds are on girls and how best to have a good time till the rifts caused by the affliction of egos appear. As one boy becomes hostile towards the other two a writhing separation, rooted in misunderstanding, begins.
Although a high school story, at first glance, the film charms the viewer into this world which each of us has gone through with memories bitter and sweet.
The film received was nominated and won at the Hong Kong International Film Festival, Pusan International Film awards & Asia Pacific Screen awards.
