Soon-to-be married Mak Yuen-ting leaves for Hong Kong in search of her father, who left twenty years before. Her father, Mak Ka-fai, had come to Guangzhou for work, met Yuen-ting’s mother, married, and lived with her for ten years before abruptly leaving for Hong Kong. Yuen-ting discovers the last letter sent to her mother from her father, who was already married when he came to Guangzhou, and decides to head to Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, as typhoon sweeps through, she crosses paths with an old acquaintance, who had given her a CD titled “Borrowed Time.” Leaving behind her parents’ times of love-hate as intricately intertwined as the relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China in the late 1980s, Yuen-ting arrives in Hong Kong, imbued with unfamiliar and peculiar longing. The camera navigates through Hong Kong with warm light and soft hues, following Yuen-ting′s journey between the past and present, reality and fantasy. (PARK Sun Young)
