A mother moves to the city, taking her daughter, Mei, but leaving her son Nan with their father. Years later, Nan, now a tour guide, still struggles to let go of the disappearance of his mother and sister. Mei, finding herself accidentally pregnant, is reminded of her mother, who subsequently died during childbirth following an affair

with another man. Mei’s boyfriend, Hsiang, a boxer with little potential, continues to fight because he believes it is the only way to connect with his own late father. Each at a crossroads in their lives, Mei, Nan and Hsiang must learn to reconcile their pasts.

The film develops an intimate portrait of three characters coming to terms with past trauma and parental relationships. It weaves together memories and heartfelt feelings of sadness and regret into a dreamlike process of reconciliation. Directed in a subtle, understated style, gradually turning up the emotional intensity, the film

culminates in Mei confronting her demons when fate appears to repeat history. A gentle and moving depiction of growing up.
