A young Japanese woman (Yukino Kishii), who is reeling from the death of her much loved mother, decides to take a trip to Taiwanese capital Taipei to try to alleviate her loss. While there, an encounter with a young man (Jing-Hua Tseng) sees the pair strike up a tentative friendship that could help her come to terms with the death. Yukinori Makabe builds his sensitive drama around the delicate and nuanced central performances from Kishii and Tseng, elegantly weaving together the present and memory to show the lingering impact of grief on everyday life, while offering a gently hopeful sweep.
