Tang Suk Yin (starring Aaron Kwok), a local squash champion, lives a seemingly beautiful life with his wife, Elaine (starring Gigi Leung), as they prepare for the birth of their first child. But their joy quickly fades when their daughter, Tang Chi (starring Natalie Hsu), is diagnosed with a rare spinal disease. Against all odds, Chi survives, but the pressure shatters the family, leaving Chi to the care of her grandmother (starring Nina Paw). A decade later, when Chi's grandmother can no longer care for her, Suk Yin must overcome his grief and reconnect with his daughter. My First of May is a heartfelt tale of healing, where father and daughter navigate the pain of their past to rediscover love and connection.
