Logline 故事摘要
Hoi-nam and Ah-yat followed their parents and moved to the United Kingdom from Hong Kong. This documentary intends to record their changes in life over the next ten years and serve as a witness to their personal growth.
南南和阿一兩姊弟隨父母從香港移民到英國，電影透過十年的紀錄開展這趟異地成長之旅，見證這個家庭和生命的變化。
Synopsis 故事大綱
Dad: Perhaps by the time you’re no longer a Hong Konger, you lost your Hong Kong identity.
Hoi-nam: I still have it, I don’t have a UK ID.
Dad: By that time, you’ll have your UK ID.
Hoi-nam: So do I have to throw my Hong Kong ID away?
Dad: Maybe…
In 2021, the Chow family, who had never set foot in the UK, decided to move there. Sister Hoi-nam (8) and brother Ah Yat (5) passively followed their parents to a new country to start their new lives. The siblings face the challenges of a new learning environment, social culture and language shock, which are both exciting and worrying. But more to face are the doubts about their identities, subtle changes in their sibling relationships, and a love-hate relationship with their parents – all complicated emotions for two young kids. This film follows the siblings for ten years, documenting their unique ways of tackling life issues such as identity, family, love, school, and career in a foreign land that will soon become familiar to them. It showcases how they embark on this unpredictable journey of growth.
爸爸：到時候你已經不是香港人了，你沒有香港身分證。
南南：我還有啊，我現在也沒有英國身分證。
爸爸：到時你就會有英國身分證。
南南：然後我是不是要把香港身分證給丟了？
爸爸：可能吧……
2021年，從未踏足英國的周氏一家決定移民，姊姊南南（八歳）和弟弟阿一（四歲）被動地跟隨父母到一個新的國度展開新生活。全新的學習環境、社交文化和語言衝擊對姊弟來說既興奮又擔心。而更多是面對身份認同和鄕土的疑惑、姊弟關係的微妙變化以及與父母之間夾雜愛恨和難以言喻的相處。隨時間推移，這部電影將跟隨兩姊弟十年之間，在異鄉迎來身份、家庭、愛情、學業和事業等必經人生課題，踏上一趟順流逆流又無法預計的成長旅程。
Director’s Statement 導演闡述
“Perhaps, we won’t find the ideal place after all, but in the process of searching, we can find fulfilment and become our ideal selves, which could be our most humble yet greatest achievement.”
As the young siblings passively followed their parents to this new place, we want to explore how facing a completely different cultural environment feels through the eyes of children. Do they feel happy, excited, or worried? By documenting their thoughts and feelings, we can perhaps gain a new perspective on “immigration”. Is that true that many parents believe it can provide their children with a “better future”?
Over the course of this ten-year filming project, we will explore the uncertainties of life, showcasing both the joys and sorrows of the siblings growing up together. We will trace this generation of young people who grew up in a foreign land and how they navigate identity issues in these ever-changing times. We hope that this film will not only connect with the audience’s own personal journey, but also depict the relationship between time and life.
「或許，我們終究找不到理想之地；但我們在尋找過程中，能成全自己成為一個理想的人。這已是我們最卑微而偉大的成就。」
小孩子被動地跟著父母來到這個全新的國度，我們想了解在小孩子的眼中，面對截然不同的文化環境，對他／她們而言是開心、興奮、擔心還是困擾？從他們的所說所想，或者我們可以窺探他們眼中的「移民」，是否真的與父母所想，能夠為小孩子提供「更好的將來」？
這個十年拍攝計劃，將透過紀錄去探索光陰歳月的未知，展現姊弟共同成長中的轉變和喜怒哀樂，以及追跡這代異鄉成長的青少年在時代變遷下對身份問題如何自處。我們希望作品與觀眾自身成長經驗有連結之餘，更刻劃出時間與生命的關係。
