SYNOPSIS
Xiao Mei had a sour relationship with her mother after a misunderstanding. When her mother pass on, she then realizes how much she misses her and filled with guilt and remorse. Fang Tai, a mature and empathetic lad from a humble family that runs a hawker food stall in Taiping. Fang Tai and Xiao Mei had a crush on each other. But Xiao Mei’s mother strongly disallows her daughter to be in a relationship such adolescent age and the young Xiao Mei suppressed her desire and obliged. After her mother pass on, Xiao Mei finally attended the yearly “The Gathering” with the old schoolmates hoping to meet with Fang Tai again.
The Gathering is a film produced by Taiping’s filmmaker, Jin Ong, before he embarked on his remarkable directing work with Malaysia's Oscar entry, Abang Adik. It was entirely shot in Taiping, featuring iconic locations such as Taiping Hua Lian High School, Taiping Lake Gardens, Zoo Taiping, and many more, all of which beautifully represent the essence of Taiping.
