A-Yun, a middle-aged woman from Vietnam, remarries an old man in Taiwan, bringing along her little son from her first marriage. Devoted as she is to her new husband, she is not treated as a family member. In their suffocating marriage, there is no love, but rather daily routine. Repressed desire makes her turn to her stepchild, a considerate and amiable young man.
