Tired of being disciplined by his parents, Wei-Lai decides to offer himself up for adoption to his friend Luca’s family. In shock, Wei-Lai’s parents question their parenting skills but agree to let Wei-Lai stay over for the weekend. Seeing that his first plan has been foiled, Wei-Lai escalates his vengeance by humiliating his parents publicly. After absorbing the damage he has done and how he has misunderstood his parents, Wei-Lai returns home on his own. In this heartfelt coming-of-age comedy, Wei-Lai and his parents come to terms with their identity and the way they define love on their own terms.
