Hong Kong's Weepie

Raymond is a man in his thirties who wishes for his young son to have a carefree childhood. His wife, Nancy, disagrees and pushes their son into numerous extracurricular activities to secure certificates and awards, hoping to gain admission into an elite school. While Nancy pressures Raymond to find a professional reference for the school application, Raymond loses the job he held for two decades. This loss leads to a difficult period of unemployment where he must sell his personal belongings. Ultimately, he puts aside his pride to ask his former employer to act as a referee for his son.
