Sound of deja vu, traveling from the left to the right, coming from the back towards the front, until all evidence is lost…. Siu-fong turned corners and walked down the street, searching for her son. Like a game of hide and seek, she finally found out, her son was just always there…

This short-film is trying to challenge the regular film production process. The group of two creative members, one is known as sound designer and one is active in sound art, are trying to reverse the filming order by making the soundtrack first. Screenplay and story script is written by narrative sound recording from the daily life, fast moving life of Hong Kong.

What we are concerned about is the listening experience from the cinema, that in this time the 5.1, 7.1 sound system, in which sound interweaving among the seats, should be more significant than the projection screen in the front. We try to let sound to tell the story, and invite the audience to reproduce the meaning and context of the film.

The story is about a mother who is searching for her lost ‘son’ on a holiday, driving by sound from the city as well as sound coming from her mind. While touring she found out what she was looking for.

The film premiered at Oil Street Art Space in Hong Kong in 2016.

假日的親子活動，小芳卻視之為例行公事。直至「兒子」走失了，小芳在聲音的引領下開始「尋找」的旅程。她在遊蕩中恍然領悟，所求之物從未遠離。這部短片試圖挑戰常規電影製作流程。由聲音設計師與聲音藝術家組成的雙人創作團隊，嘗試顛覆傳統工序——先創作聲軌，再以香港快節奏日常生活的敘事性錄音為基礎，撰寫劇本與故事。

我們關注的是影院中的聆聽體驗：當代5.1、7.1環繞音響系統讓聲音在座位之間流轉交織，其重要性理應超越前方銀幕。我們以聲音述說故事，邀請觀眾重塑影像的意義與脈絡。

小芳是一個三十多歲的單親媽媽，性格內向孤僻，有一位關係不太好的5 歲兒子。小芳是一位作家，長久活於幻想、自我中心的世界，與興趣無關的所有生活細節也心
不在焉，每天最觸動她的是靈感與創作，顯然照顧自己及兒子的生活也較一塌糊塗。

影片在2016年第一次公映在香港油街藝術空間。
