Sunny (Frederick Lee), a film director, returns to his hometown of Penang to shoot a new film, an autobiographical story about his family, all without their knowledge or approval.

​

It has been years since he was last home, and his family members and old school friends are excited to see him. They think he has been living a successful life in Kuala Lumpur but the reality is that Sunny drives a beat-up car, has relationship problems, and is running out of money for his new film.

Sunny has decided to make a film about his life following a shocking incident that he witnessed as a boy. It has haunted him for years and caused resentment towards his mother (Neo Swee Lin) and his older, mentally disabled brother, Boy (John Tan). In trying to tell his family’s story, Sunny is forced to confront and relive the past, taking him back to his childhood and the family that tried their best not to fall apart in the face of adversity.

In the end, the filmmaking for Sunny becomes a cathartic exercise, inadvertently opening old wounds, exorcising anger and guilt, and most of all, showing him that true love is about sacrifice.
