    In a collage-like short film, UK filmmaker Christina Poon looks at her own family, in an attempt to find resolve on her and her brother's differing connection to their British-Chinese identity, and the factors that have contributed. A mix of home VHS-8 footage from childhood, present-day interviews with family and re-enacted scenes, direct us through the jumble of realisations the siblings have whilst connecting their childhood and teenage experience to their feelings towards their Chinese heritage, now. What's interesting is how different that is for brother and sister, Jamie and Christina, and how that reflects on the whole family.
