Synopsis

A couple (Jian RenZi and Andrew Lin) who has been unsuccessfully trying to have a child for a few years, and decides to resort to an old Chinese fertility ritual, that of the “primer”: to temporarily adopt a child, who will open the way for their own progeny. They adopt a quiet 7-year-old girl (Wang Yifei) at an orphanage whose supervisors (Hui Shiu Hung and Pat Ha) are obviously not telling them everything. The adopted child is silent, asocial and constantly draws disturbingly dark pictures of her previous family. It doesn’t help that her new mother is beset with strange visions that threaten her sanity.

This film delivers a gripping psychological mystery with strong performances—especially from Aiqing and the young Xinxin—and a suspenseful atmosphere built through cinematography and sound. While some plot points stretch logic and the ending may feel unsatisfying, the unexpected twist and emotional depth make it highly rewatchable. At its core, the story reminds us of the emotional weight of parenthood, mental health, and the importance of treating every child with love and care.
