Description

When a determined woman chases true love, even Buddha can't stop her.

Taiwan, 1950: Chuen-Jiau stands before family and friends to give the eulogy for her husband Yueh. Things get a bit surprising when she starts to detail the lives they've already shared.

It's a cabaret funeral that'll take you on a reincarnating journey of love, confusion and hope.

 

如果這就是愛,在轉身就該勇敢留下來
If this is love, be brave to stay before you turn and hide.
(Perhaps Love)
