This is a story about the ways of life and changes that set in to alter its paths. It begins with Kang-Yi, a bright 17-year-old, who returns home for summer vacation. Her blind father owns a massage parlor which barely makes ends meet, while he raises her slightly retarded younger brother, Ah Kee. She encounters 18-year-old Ah Ping, the handsome newcomer to the village and their blossoming relationship affects those around them. With a non-professional cast and extensive improvisation, the award winning director Chang Tso-chi has successfully portrayed a touching story of growing up.
