Synopsis
At a tiny corner in Tuen Mun, Marco the sixth grader comes to the tunnel where he used to linger with his best friend Chris. Meanwhile, a flying plane can be heard from above.
As Chris’s departure is nearing, Marco’s world suddenly expands from the octagonal park to the opposite continent at the bottom of the map. Nothing could be done to prevent this inevitable loss. All he could do is catch up with time every day – to give his best in beating the non-pirated, authentic beyblade, in ensconcing it inside the case, in catching the flight to Australia.
This place would still snatch away your treasure, no matter what, and without scruples. It doesn’t take more than the sound of the light rail passing by, but all Marco wants is to look for a memory: that ordinary life of the everyday, when Chris was around, walking along with him.
