Moon Lee, a celebrated award-winning actress, has become a full-time mom and divorcée since retiring. Desperate to regain her sense of self, she jumps at the chance to work with her long-time collaborator, director Roger Woo, again. Only this time, he casts her as the lead in a do-your-own stunts martial arts film. The role requires extensive training and though Moon is at first uncertain, she leaves her young son in the care of Roger’s assistant and commits herself to back-breaking training. As soon as she starts to gain some confidence, Roger breaks the news to her: the only way the film can move ahead is to cast her ex-husband, Julliard, as the male lead.

[IFFR'22] The film is about motherhood and the transformation from woman to mother, but it is built on a fun exercise in metacinema, in which an actress returns to movies after years of absence (reflecting the return of director Tan Chui Mui after ten years). Behind its appearance of action movies and martial arts, there is a very personal representation about the rebirth of a woman after the birth of her child.
