Film Clips

Clip 1: Swimming Lesson (9:35 – 13:30, length 3:55)
The clip begins with Maleonn working at his desk and ends with a radio interview.
Maleoon recounts the first time he realized that his father was losing his memory. It was an episode in a swimming pool with Ma Ke asking the same question over and over. Maleonn also reflects: “Dear Child, There comes a moment when we must grow up. We suddenly realize that forever does not exist in this world. We've always known that sense of helplessness. Except now, we finally understand what it means. And then what?” The final scene of the clip is Maleonn giving a radio interview in which he describes the “Papa’s Time Machine” project.
Clip 2: The Performance (1:04:50-1:08:45, length: 4:15 min.)
The clip begins with black and the stage lights coming up to start the show. It ends with a shot of Maleonn with his head in his hands.
The clip treats us to portions of a live performance of the “Papa’s Time Machine,” the show that Maleonn has created to help preserve father-son memories. Maleonn also shares these thoughts: “Dear Child, I've always thought that the important things in life ...even if they are extinguished, can be lit again with my passion. But time is too powerful. More powerful than all the passion you possess. You can't undo what it has done. With all of this, have I been too naive?”
