Drama

In a ship's container, a man cannot put himself to sleep. He is, in fact, on a night flight across continents. Jet-lagged and overwhelmed by time's lassitude, the man relapses into his innermost memories of other places and times. There, in the container, he meets his teenage self, who is remembering his childhood experience as a refugee living in a segregated camp in Hong Kong. They talk, confront, and reproach each other over their mother's coin.
