SYNOPSIS:
It’s 1969 and Desmond Law is a sixteen-year-old who is the pride and joy of his working-class parents. His mother and father (played by Sandra Ng and Simon Yam) work hard to send him to a fine private school, even though it’s no easy task on Dad’s salary as a shoemaker. Desmond’s eight-year-old brother, Big Ears, is the troublemaker in the household. At a time when the world seems to be turning upside down, the family struggles to stay together as they face the challenges life presents them.
