Synopsis
Shortly before Indonesia's 2014 presidential election, an ethnic Chinese filmmaker and her family travelled to Malaysia, fearing unrest linked to the memories of May 1998. The journey unfolds into a story of generational survival, tracing how migration, uncertainty, and evolving questions of identity shaped her family's life across decades.
