Synopsis
Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is a genetic disorder that causes noncancerous
tumors to grow in different parts of the body. However, the Hong Kong government
has been slow to allow treatment for the disease, especially in relaxing regulations for

Kong’s medical system with this heartrending documentary about a young TSC
patient who also lost her mother to the disease.
