A woman packs to see her dying mother and forgets everything that matters. The film watches her scatter-brained stumbling with such quiet patience that you feel the weight of what she's actually losing, not just what's in her suitcase. Small domestic chaos becomes a portrait of how grief makes us forget ourselves before we even leave home.
Mrs. Pang has just sewn a new dress for her baby, who lies asleep, when a letter arrives saying her mother is gravely ill. She resolves to set out for her family home that same night. But she is hopelessly absent-minded, and as she hurries to get ready, things start slipping her mind. In the confusion she bundles up a pillow in place of her child, and on the road home she manages to lose her bundle as well. The result is a one-episode film about a well-meaning but careless mother trying to rush to her sick parent's side.
