Synopsis

On the threshold of adulthood, the director and his close friends gather to rekindle youthful playfulness and rebellion while confronting past trauma. What happens when an entire generation is forced to forget? Can friendship be a form of resistance? The film becomes a living record of solidarity, intimacy, and shared memory amid dark, muted times.

Rico Wong: ‘We often do not give silence enough space. We avoid and fear it. Yet only within silence can ineffable thoughts and emotions slowly ferment, and fragments rooted deep in memory rise towards the surface. In those moments when language is no longer able to function properly, we fall into silence and accompany one another. From then on, silence becomes light, so very light.’
