Storyline

Mei-feng, a former renowned music agent who discovered many Hong Kong superstars, chose to focus on her family after marriage and left the music industry for decades. Though seemingly happily married, she decides to make a comeback when her 17-year-old son leaves for studies in the UK, hoping to rediscover her former self. At a gathering, she discovers the singing talent of a potential boy, Fong Ching, and is determined to push him to the stage. Fong Ching's lonely background stirs her maternal care, but also triggers her son's misunderstanding, revealing long-unresolved emotional wounds between mother and son. Following her debut film '29+1', which precisely portrayed the transitional period of young women, Hong Kong director Pang Sau-wai again turns her lens on the second-career pain of married women. Actress Teresa Mo delicately portrays a middle-aged woman balancing roles as mother, wife, and workplace strongwoman, switching faces in life like an invisible warm breeze. MIRROR members Keung To and Jer Lau play the potential star and the son, respectively, with Keung To's good singing voice running through the film, creating a modern youth growth comedy akin to the classic 'Next Stop... Queen'.
