"This award-winning film portrays different generations of ill-fated women in an unconventional Taiwanese family. Teenage Laichun has two mothers, a father, an autistic uncle, and a grandfather. Her father ends up taking two wives in order to continue the family name, and Laichun, born to the second wife, keenly feels the growing abyss between herself and her parents. She gets pregnant, but hits a wall when her boyfriend refuses to take any responsibility. When her father is hospitalized, she finally begins to understand her father and two mothers.”
