Anu is a tomboy. Although, as was conventional in Taiwan of the 1970s, she married young and had two children, she soon separated from her violent husband and raised the daughters alone. Since then, she has only had relationships with women. She earns her living with her own team of professional mourners at funerals.
\nThis is the setting in which her daughter, the film-maker Hui-chen Huang, grew up. Any doubts about the unconditional nature of a mother\u2019s love are taboo in Chinese culture. But Huang makes this very topic the subject of this intimate portrait. She confronts Anu with questions that have plagued her for years. Using long shots, this film addresses areas such as trust, abuse and complicity, but in almost all cases they lead to a painful speechlessness. The confrontation culminates in a situation at the dining table, where all the family secrets are laid out on the table \u2013 in the truest sense of the phrase.<\/p>\n
