MOVE OUT NOTICE

Short Film
Directed by Leon Cheo
Screenplay by Chen Yingxuan

Wei, 21, has not clashed with her real estate agent mother for over a year since they started a new system – “talking” to each other solely through cheerful-looking notes. However, when Wei clumsily announces that she is moving out to live independently, her obstinate mother declares war.
