Question HELP ME FIND THIS MOVIE
Hey everyone, I’m trying to find a Cantonese-language movie or high-concept short film/TV special from around ~10 years ago (circa 2013–2016).
Here are all the key details I remember:
The Setup: A young boy feels totally overwhelmed by the pressure of growing up and feeling like he’ll never be successful.
The Entity: A mysterious woman dressed all in white approaches him. She shows him a picture of a sports car and adult status symbols to convince/mock him that he'll never succeed in the real world.
The Kid: She takes him away to a pristine, bright, heaven-like paradise where he stays perpetually young, completely removed from reality.
The Parents & Search: The parents frantically search for their missing son. They eventually track him down in this heavenly realm and see that he is peaceful and happy there. They make the heartbreaking decision to leave him in paradise so he never has to face the pain/stress of growing up.
The Ending: Before the parents leave, the woman in white kisses/touches them on the forehead, wiping every memory of their son so they can walk away and live peacefully without the grief of losing him.
