Synopsis

A mother of two sons, housewife Shu-yi lives a seemingly idyllic upper-class life on the surface. However, she is trapped in a toxic marriage as a trophy wife for her ambitious　and domineering doctor husband. Everything changes when she is reunited with Xue-jin, an ophthalmologist who was her former lover. The problem is that Shu-yi’s older son has also fallen for Xue-jin. Thematically complex and quietly compelling, Julian Chou’s psychosexual drama dissects the fluidity of sexuality and Taiwanese society’s contradictory attitude towards the LGBT+ community. In a society plagued by prejudice, can love truly be blind?
