Description
A lost little girl with her notebook and toy monkey appears on the CCTV screens of a shopping centre, evoking memories of a past case. Twenty years earlier, a junior detective had been searching for a missing person. Now, two people from different walks of life are drawn into each other's lives as they follow the girl through the centre's corridors. A security guard with a sleep disorder and a disenchanted deputy manager find an unexpected sense of purpose in their after-hours friendship. As it grows in intensity, it brings new loss and longing to light. This poignant story explores the complexities of human connection and the power of memory to shape our lives.
