Synopsis
It was a boring summer holiday, and Bao stayed at grandpa’s house. Once on the way back from grocery shopping, a sudden idea from grandpa aroused Bao’s excitement. They planned to secretly pick the osmanthus along the wayside. When they were caught stealing the flowers, she left grandpa and ran away alone. That night, grandpa came home with two bags of osmanthus, but she didn’t know how to face grandpa.

Director's statement
There are always countless gaps between us and our elders in daily life. However, when we cannot really pocket our pride and do not know how to admit our mistakes, they would in most cases try to let go and “forget” before we do.
