Min is a Chinese woman in her 20s who had been adopted by a Malay family when she was very young. One day, she decides to seek out her birth mother, and the journey turns out to be not just a literal but metaphorical one. Ho’s debut feature is a strikingly confident, elliptical drama that dares to use silences and spaces to tell its story, right up to its surprise ending.
