The story follows Lucretia, one of the last students to take the A-Level exam. Her grades turn out to be lower than expected, so she chooses the Faculty of Philosophy as a stepping stone for switching to a more “desirable” subject. The strategically-minded young woman is completely pre-occupied with the thoughts of a good GPA as her ticket to a “better” department, until she meets a professor who vows to develop his students’ critical thinking ability and Jeremy, a senior student also known as the Prince of Social Activism. When Jeremy is arrested in a campaign, he is forced to take a stance between reality and ideals. A string of heated debates on the notions of “teaching” and “receiving” also follows suit. 

In Cantonese with English and Chinese surtitles.
