Summary

Josie Ho is Flavia, a seemingly happily-married teacher with a baby daughter and no apparent issues. But that's just on the surface. In actuality, Flavia is a closeted lesbian, and has been since who knows when. Now turning thirty, Flavia has her inner desires reignited when she meets Yip (Tian Yuan), a singer who immediately catches her eye, and perhaps her heart. The two form an immediate bond, and Flavia seemingly yearns to stray from her husband Ming (Eric Kot), but somehow she can't fulfill her own desires. This isn't surprising, since Flavia is trapped - not just within the usual societal mores of sexuality, but also within confines of propriety, commitment, responsibility, and that pesky thing known as history.
