On Shoying’s 70th birthday, she receives the shocking news of her long-lost husband, Bo-chang’s death. What’s worse, there is another woman, TSAI, who stayed by Bo-chang till his last breath. A merry reunion now turns into a ten-day wake, an unfortunately perfect time for the family to face their complicated mother-daughter relationships. Ching, the oldest of the three daughters, has learned to downplay everything in her life to deal with an intrusive mother as Sho-ying. Yu, the perfect middle child, finds herself at odds with Sho-ying regarding her teenage daughter. Jia-jia, the youngest, fights Sho-ying to fulfill her father’s dying wish to come home. The three daughters remind Shoying of Bo-chang in different ways. She goes on the quest to find out who TSAI is. Will Sho-ying get the closure she has longed for all her life?
