This film is a component of a project titled "Our Not So Fairy Tales.". As a migrated Hongkonger, and also an international student, I gathered 8 immigrants who moved from Hong Kong to other places for different reasons. Interviewing them motivated me to share their stories of relocation, as migration should be a social problem that people pay attention to, although they might not have been through the process. We, who moved away from our homeland, somehow love or loved our birthplace where we grew up in and where our memories sit. In order to let audience understand more, I chose to describe migration as "leaving home," I thought it would be more relatable since everyone leaves their home after growing up. I think It would be easier to sympathise or even empathise if it comes to feelings and emotions, but not politic. Therefore, this film talks about the background and story behind this project.
