Nene’s innocence is tainted with so much guilt of his brother’s crime. One day, his worst nightmare came when a police officer forcibly arrests his brother for snatching a necklace- that is aggravated to an eventual killing of such a defenceless victim. It becomes more difficult for him to discern how could their own father seems impassive of the incident.
To end up in jail is the adverse yet a chance Jie-jie may have fallen into that would make him pay for his crime. But Nene continues to endure that unsolicited guilt. He feels obliged to atone for the sins his brother committed which he thought is the only way to release him from the torment of guilty conscience that keeps bothering him.
