A cinematic, low-angle shot of a weary woman in ancient Near Eastern linen garments, cradling a newborn infant in a dimly lit stone room. Her expression is one of profound grief and exhaustion.

Father and Grandmother with Siu Zi leaving their home in a Guangzhou street in the dark of night. There is an air of secrecy. Siu Zi clutches her small bag, its contents little more than a few treasured keepsakes and faded photographs.
