Story: A man pretends to be his sister to help his mother deal with grief and loss but to what extent and consequence does their relationship take?
The two films in this program explore the theme of past traumas and how it alters people's lives and those who love them. In the feature "Innocent", Wu Zheng meets a stranger and finds himself drawn to him. He gradually realises that this stranger has a dissociative identity disorder. His name is Yu Shi, but he is also Noah, whose psyche emerges when he senses that Yu Shi is in danger. Not only does Wu Zheng struggle to understand his feelings for Yu Shi/Noah, he also finds himself grappling with the two personalities of this man.
