CGiii Comment

In a mere 36 minutes, Kit Hung does what every film should do...to be taken on a journey.

This particular journey is...a fabulously realised, roller-coaster of emotion. Spanning decades and fully punctuated with all of life's ups and downs.

This is a vision. This is a feast. This is a heartbreak.
