Synopsis

An examination of identity through the interweaving of five stories about people of different sexual preferences. Ah Moon and her friend Rosa Gao are both flying to Taipei, but Rosa Gao has lost her passport and cannot board the plane. The plane crashes, killing Ah Moon. Her grieving husband meets a gay estate agent, Tong, while trying to sell his too-large apartment. He had a happy marriage to Ah Moon but was always at work, and did not notice that pool guard Jie was attracted to him, and was having an affair with Ah Moon. He begins a relationship with Tong. Meanwhile, Jie runs into Rosa Gao in Taipei and is struck by her physical resemblance to Ah Moon.
