    • Synopsis
    • Yan Yan wishes to bring her girlfriend home during the Lunar New Year, causing shame and anger in her father. Rosario, a migrant from the Philippines, tries to intervene into the heated argument on the street. It turns out to be a performance by an invisible theatre troupe and Yan Yan invites Rosario to join their group. During the workshops, Rosario recalls past moments with Lila, her ex-lover back in the Philippines. That night she receives a package from Lila, and reconnects with feelings long suppressed. Director Jamie CHI draws from her own experience and brings back her teammates from the invisible theatre project in this short film.
