Montages of Modern Motherhood

Suk-jing joyfully welcomes her newborn daughter, expecting an ordinary new chapter, only to find her life irrevocably transformed. The relentless demands of 24/7 caregiving soon overwhelm her, compounded by her husband’s lack of involvement. Tensions with in-laws, postpartum physical and emotional challenges, and declining work performance pile on like straws on her back. As she endures long, solitary nights of nursing, where will the dawn lead her fragile journey? Chan Oliver Siu Kuen is a director and scriptwriter based in Hong Kong. Her debut feature Still Human (2018) was shown in multiple film festivals and won her accolades both domestically and internationally including Best New Director at the 38th Hong Kong Film Awards.
