Logline

In 2019, Than Sin falls into a coma before confessing his feelings to Nyein; when he wakes in 2025, he must find her while she struggles with mysterious dreams that could save their world.

Short Synopsis

Nyein, a 25-year-old woman in Yangon, begins experiencing vivid dreams involving glowing red party cups appearing in surreal, unsettling places — floating over city streets, buried in forests, or scattered across her floor. What starts as symbolism soon becomes reality: dream elements begin appearing in her waking life.

At the same time, Than Sin — a boy from her past — reappears. In 2019, they attended the same school but barely spoke. He had planned to confess his feelings to her the day he fell into a coma. Now, six years later, he wakes up into a changed world and seeks to reconnect with the girl he never forgot.
As they meet again, the dreams grow more intense, reflecting Nyein’s emotions and the fragile connection they’re building. Past and present begin to blur as they navigate memory, loss, and fate in a world that feels suspended in time.
