Synopsis

Jing is a first-time mother caught between her desire to be a good mother and her inability to leave her part-time job at a small bakery. Her husband, Wai, is an adult who behaves like a child and believes his duty as a father is to work and “help” with the baby occasionally. The film explores the challenges many mothers face today, showing Jing’s mental and physical deterioration as her burdens accumulate.
