- Synopsis
- The film is about memories - losing memories and haunted memories. The main character is Ah Guo, a woman who tries to recuperate her memories after being in a comma for three years. Leang Lee is her neighbor and opposite to Ah Guo, he is a man full of memories. He does not believe in the existence without memories. The disparity between the two leads - one without memories and one with full of memory - helps to set the story forward.
