The traditional image of a father is full of masculine charm—strong, brave, and proud—with the male eagle as its symbol. In the post-modern understanding of gender roles, how has the totem animal of a father evolved? Joan returns to Hong Kong to play matchmaker for her father, who happens to be afflicted by a foot injury and is taken care of by the mysterious Kit. Moreover, her father keeps avoiding her matchmaking attempts, leading Joan to suspect that he and Kit are harbouring a secret from her. Award-winning stage actor Simon LO teams up with What If (2025) actors Ernesto DE SOUSA and NG Wing-sze in this magical realist short film about family. The director fills the film with animal symbolism, adding a touch of colour to the gender spectrum.
