A story about a father and a son with matching birthmarks.

One that encapsulates the spirit of Singapore's founding generation, and reminds us to thank them for their sacrifices.

As Singapore entered a new decade, the Ministry of Communications and Information wanted to make a Chinese New Year short film to pay tribute to the 'Merdeka Generation': a generation of Singaporeans, born in the pre-independence years, who gave up everything for their loved ones' happiness.

This film was launched during Chinese New Year, a time when Singaporeans visit their elders to pay their respects. The song featured, "????", is a famous local oldie that speaks of a way of caring which is easy to overlook and hard to understand.
