At the first glance, a crayon drawing appears the very portrait of a happy family, but a closer examination reveals that something is amiss. Lam Tsi-hei is the eldest son of a family that stares darts and hurls verbal abuse at each other, complete with sibling antagonism and resentment bred by thoughts and feelings left unexpressed. Directly a film on a subject fiercely personal and close to his heart, Tsi-hei digs up a crayon drawing from his boyhood. While cherishing the memories of an affectionate bond that skips a generation, he realises he must go hat-in-hand and repair his relationship with his estranged family.
