The Blooming Notes (2021)

Changing times and cultural landscape lead to differences in musical taste. Ah Ning wrote Cantonese pop songs in the 1980s, and revels in the glory days of “good music”. The music scene changes, and he falls into oblivion. A piece of bad news leads to a brief reunion with his daughter Lok Kei after ten years of separation. Lok Kei is now a big fan of K-pop which Ah Ning despises and considers empty and repetitive. Just like in many generational conflicts, through their love for each other, Ah Ning and Lok Kei try to unravel all the hidden truths and misunderstandings in their limited time together.
