Two women are estranged as mother and daughter, but their lives are interwoven by an invisible thread. The old mother seeks a home with one of her 4 daughters in a world that no longer wants her. The young mom, shattered from recent divorce, has to piece together a broken home. Looking to their past to try and find answers for an uncertain future, their search eventually brings the mother and daughter together.

The film captures a Singaporean zeitgeist in stop-motion sequences of impressionistic pencil drawings. Over 1,000 handdrawn portraits of real-life MRT commuters were used to create a tapestry of faces that eventually metamorphoses into a singular face as the short film provides a multi-dimensional gaze on a Singaporean identity.
