It will be broadcast in cinema advertisements and across digital channels.Caleb Huang who directed the film said, “This film is about the bond between sisters, and also about the relationship between family members. Family is more important than anything else, and it is not too late to reach out to friends or family members that you have not contacted in a long time. Everything starts with the first conversation. And we hope that through the film, viewers will realise that conversations actually do bring us closer.”John Lee, country CEO & CEO of Maybank Singapore said, “As we use more technology, people are connected but are increasingly disconnected from each other. Maybank’s mission of Humanising Financial Services is essentially about bringing people together, so we want to bring the conversation back. We also hope that this film will bring out the nostalgia and emotion associated with coming together and being a family during Lunar New Year.”
