SYNOPSIS

In a world where some wander to survive without a home, three lonely souls try to get in touch. Allan is a wealthy businessman who hides his empty life behind success. One night in Hong Kong he meets a Chinese-Filipino woman named Tanya, who will change his life forever. Tanya invents a character to mask the wounds left by her stay in Hong Kong. Agnes is Allan’s ex-wife and has been trying to rebuild her life in New York after leaving an oppressive relationship five years ago. Their paths will cross in New York, where we can see how far one can hide guilt and wear a mask to hide the suffering of the present in the jungles of the diaspora.
