Happy Old Year
A love story for those who want to move on but find it hard to let
go.
Jean, a 28-year-old woman, who makes plans to renovate her house to be a
minimal office. This is the embarkment of her plan to clean her extremely messy
house. She has to work with her brother (Jay) in carefully getting rid of the
things that aren’t important anymore, out from the house. They must fight
against their mother who tends to be a hoarder, like any normal elderly persons
who keep every single thing. They also have to fight against their emotions as
they confront the various possessions that usually have a back story to them.
Whether it is a broken toy, buy it was the favourite toy, darn it! Things that
haven’t been used in a long time, but the parents bought it, man!
A birthday gift or a postcard sent by a friend extending friendship. But
we’ve stored them away in our bedroom, to the point they overflow from the
drawers. And many other things which anyone who has ever had to keep their room,
tidy up their house, or clear their desk would understand the difficulty in
deciding which items to keep and which items to let go.
But nothing is as difficult as something from someone who we’ve had ties
to. Someone who we’ve shared the good days and nights with or has loved each
other. And that is what Jean has to deal with. When she finds something from
Aim, her ex-boyfriend, on the floor of her room. It’s strange how this one
piece has 100 reasons for her to throw it away and yet also
100 reasons to keep.
Could the journey to return this item to him be the best solution? In the
end, will she throw it away, keep it, or return it? Let the question be you to
answer instead, if it were you, would you throw it away, keep it, or return it
to its owner?
