Chun Hua, who has been away from home for years after cutting her father off, receives the news of her grandfather's death and has no choice but to return home with her daughter for the funeral. Her father, whom she hasn't seen in years, is as cold and rude as ever, and doesn't look kindly on them. And when night falls, the family seems to be hiding more horrible secrets.
A shameful period in Taiwanese history provides the backdrop for this emotional drama from writer and director Yonfan (aka Yang Fan). In 1949, in the wake of the 228 Incident (in which anti-government protesters launched a rebellion that was violently put down by authorities), Taiwan came under martial law, and through much of the 1950s brutal reprisals against suspected communists were commonplace. During the years of the "White Terror," thousand of supposed dissidents were killed, imprisoned or simply disappeared at the hands of the military police.
The life stories of four firefighters show that, through their daily work, they have not only witnessed various spectrums of Taiwan’s society but also been forced to face their own life lessons.
