Seventeen-year-old Bowen, a Singaporean teenager studying abroad, braces for a visit from her parents and younger sister at her boarding school. Old tensions surface as the family struggles to reconnect, with silences often louder than words. Beneath their strained exchanges lies a tenderness that refuses to disappear. Set against a foreign landscape and culminating at the school’s Annual Fall Dinner, the film traces how a fractured family finds moments of honesty, acceptance, and love, as Bowen learns to stand in her own truth.
