Carmen, a university student of Hong Kong-Filipino descent, takes on an Americanised outlook and accent. Falsely claiming that her mother is American, she gains favour with the CHUNG’s, a middle-class family where she works as a tutor, thereby improving her career prospects. However, Carmen’s carefully constructed world shatters when she stumbles upon her employer’s secret, and she is forced to re-examine herself and confront her own identity. Through this poignant story about the Filipino diaspora in Hong Kong, the short explores a wide range of issues surrounding race and class in contemporary Hong Kong society.

You won't be disappointed!
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
