Synopsis

It was spring 1969. A kid is running wild on the streets of Hong King wearing a fish bowl for a space helmet. This revolves around the kid’s family: a shoe-maker father, an easygoing mother, starry-eyed elder brother who daydreams with tropical fish; and our little hero. Along these characters, we travel back to a time when all things were new, all grown-ups unfathomable, and all stories were beautiful or so they seemed.
