"Tom (Darren Yap) is a writer in his forties. Back in 1964, his mother Rose (Joan Chen), a nightclub singer in Shanghai, followed an Aussie soldier back to Melbourne to marry him. After the short-lived marriage failed, young Tom (Joel Lok) and his sister May (Irene Chen) are dragged from 'uncle to uncle' for seven years in Sydney, until they return to Melbourne, and briefly to the husband, Bill (Steven Vidler). Tom’s story then follows the tumultuous time in which his mother’s new and much younger lover Joe (Qi Yuwu) is the catalyst for a major family upheaval."--Container.
