Abstract:

Filmmaker Emily Ting, along with Helen Jen, turns the camera on herself and her family when she is pressured into dropping her career as a filmmaker to work in her father's business in Hong Kong making plush toys.  Emily Ting's is only one of many stories of a child being pressured into taking over the family business despite what their own ambitions may have been.
