At 34, filmmaker Lok can feel the life she has postponed pressing in. Born in Macau and long adrift in the Hong Kong film world, she has one feature behind her, a second that refuses to come together, and a live-in girlfriend who wants a future that looks settled. But the closer that future gets, the more Lok returns to the women and cities that shaped her: Taiwan at 22, where her student years brought a restless romance and the sense that life could still open in any direction; Macau at 17, where a crush on a free-spirited older woman first taught her what desire means. Drawing from her own life, director Tracy Choi turns those three ages and cities into an intimate queer drama about love, artistic doubt, and the hard bargain between growing up and staying true to oneself.
