Outside a kindergarten, a chance encounter over a mobile screenshot connects middle-aged Chan Chi Yung with Wang Xia, a housewife. Their ordinary lives continue while their children have fun together in the playground.

They chat about this and that as waves of emotions surface. Playwright Matthew Cheng focuses on minute details that challenge the precarious boundary between love and lethargy.

Ambiguous won Best Original Script at the 30th Hong Kong Drama Awards and the 2023 Shanghai One Drama Awards.
