Synopsis

Fragility, resilience, conflict, struggle… 
The present and the past interweave and overlap like shadows.

She… remembers going to Shek Tong Tsui Market when she was young… the smells and the sounds… the time she spent with her mother

She… does not remember her 9-year-old self, but even so, that dance followed her like a shadow

She… is humming, “There was a river in front of my house, with a slope at the back”

She… has been looking for a female body

She… let go and forgave her that winter, after becoming a mother…

Five female dancers from different cities, meet on the same path. In that space between light and darkness, the reflection of the light leads the women through the tunnel of time. Through their personal experiences, they tell us of their evolution at different stages in their life and get us to feel their joys and their sorrows.

How would their path unfold?
