Genre: Drama / Family / Emotion
A father’s guilt. A daughter’s courage. A love that survives time.
A young girl (Natalie Hsu) suffering from a rare disease dreams of living like everyone else. Her estranged father (Aaron Kwok) returns after years of absence, seeking forgiveness — only to realize that while his daughter’s body is weak, her heart remains stronger than his own.
Through quiet gestures and tender silences, My First of May captures the fragility and resilience of family love. The “ring finger,” the only one that can move, becomes a symbol of connection, remembrance, and hope that time cannot erase.
Sometimes, love speaks through silence.
Directed by James Hung, this moving Hong Kong drama explores loss, reconciliation, and the invisible bond between a father and daughter. With heartfelt performances by Aaron Kwok and Natalie Hsu, My First of May reminds us that even the smallest movement can carry the weight of love.
Because even when words fail, love still finds a way to move.
