Through letters with a friend in prison, a filmmaker sets out to realize a boys’ love script unfolding behind bars. But as he moves from Berlin to Tokyo to Kaohsiung, the project begins to blur—between fiction and fear, between freedom and its illusion.

Bai from Hong Kong takes a leisurely trip in Kaohsiung and meets a Japanese young man Hei there. Both are finding refuge in their own little world when the calmness of the water surface is shattered one day. They suddenly realise the world is not as large as they imagine; and their little world is not exactly that little.

On this day, an elderly Taiwanese mother and daughter, accompanied by a Burmese volunteer, journey from a rural area to an urban animal crematorium, tenderly carrying the body of their beloved cat, in hopes of ensuring that its final journey is marked by peace and grace.
