Shu-Fen, a single mother, returns to Taipei with her two daughters after years away and plans to open a noodle stall in the bustling night market. The eldest daughter, I-An, works at a dubious convenience store and has a complicated relationship with her mother, while five-year-old I-Jing discovers a colorful world that becomes her playground. Shih-Ching Tsou’s film sensitively observes the relationship between mothers and daughters, the collision between traditions, and the struggle against fear within Taipei’s dazzling urban fabric.
