Professor J announces a casting for his new work. Fiona, a student from Hong Kong, is unexpectedly chosen as the female lead. During a staged family dinner, an abrupt performance, an uncooperative co-actor, and unaware spectators blur fiction and reality, leading her to uncover the script’s hidden subtext.
