Child Tung

第十八幅畫 (original title)

Synopsis

Child finds her peace of mind in drawing but that does not please her mother at all. At school she is bullied by her Visual Arts classmates, while the teacher regards her works as ‘not up to standard’. One day comes a substitute teacher who introduces the different possibilities of art to Child and that there is no right or wrong when it comes to painting assignments. There has never been anyone in her life that brings her such inspiration. Holding her charcoal stick in hand, Child finally knows whose portrait she should draw.
