“His mother is worried about her son’s future, she does not want him to fail in life so she pushes him to pursue other options such as joining medical school,” Olivia said.
However, the son who is desperate to make his dreams come true goes behind his mother’s back to audition for a dancing competition.

“We all try to pursue our dreams, but sometimes our friends and family members come in the way of us achieving them,” she said.
“They think they are looking out for us but it is actually them who hold us back.
“It is all about perspectives and I really hope that people are able to connect with the film.”
