Siew Bong is, with respect, quite an average person. He’s unexceptional in anything and has not achieved much, which typically isn’t a problem until he has to meet his girlfriend’s ultra-rich, ultra-high-achieving family that believes in flawlessness as the highest form of human value, a value especially upheld and enforced by the tyrannical matriarch of the family, Antoinette. Things turn south over a family dinner when Siew Bong’s beliefs on a person’s value grinds against the family’s facade of perfectionism.

A lonely student, raised under her mother’s suffocating control, finds love and confidence through a film that finally lets her be seen. But when a humiliating video is exposed, her breakdown becomes a reckoning — and the girl who wanted attention learns what it means to be unforgettable.
