In this shapeshifting tale, a tenuous father−son relationship paves the way for a haunting coming-of-age journey with a metaphysical twist.
Widowed pest exterminator Chua and his son Meng eke out a precarious existence on the margins of society. Years of gruelling labour, coupled with an unexpected tragedy at work, take a toll on Chua. All this casts a long shadow upon Meng, who is pressured into bullying by a group of delinquents, perpetuating the cycle of violence. Forced to face repercussions for his actions, Meng has little choice but to enlist for military service.
In this boldly bifurcated narrative, we follow Meng on a military exercise into the depths of an unknown jungle. This sets in motion a quietly sublime odyssey that unfolds with parallels to the past, offering Meng a brief respite from his past actions and the possibility of a new beginning.
