The traditional image of a father is full of masculine charm—strong, brave, and proud—with the male eagle as its symbol. In the post-modern understanding of gender roles, how has the totem animal of a father evolved? Joan returns to Hong Kong to play matchmaker for her father, who happens to be afflicted by a foot injury and is taken care of by the mysterious Kit. Moreover, her father keeps avoiding her matchmaking attempts, leading Joan to suspect that he and Kit are harbouring a secret from her. Award-winning stage actor Simon LO teams up with What If (2025) actors Ernesto DE SOUSA and NG Wing-sze in this magical realist short film about family. The director fills the film with animal symbolism, adding a touch of colour to the gender spectrum.

MovieDrama
He is a strict self-disciplinarian, embracing the uniformity and routine of his Spartan lifestyle sustained on a diet of canned food, video games balanced off with the occasional push-ups. On the flip side of the coin, he is loser-defeatist resigned to failure and victimhood. Then a woman from his past comes back into his life and just when things start looking up, complications come pouring in the form of the intriguingly rude and brutish landlord. Will he succumb to cowardice and turn a blind eye to the casual flirtation and infidelity unfolding before him, or will he step out of his comfort zone and pluck up the courage to fight for his love?
