16 years ago, Laichun’s father arrived in Taiwan and worked in a restaurant. He then married his boss’s daughter and subsequently took over the business. However, years into their marriage, his wife failed to produce any children. Their childlessness became the endorsement of his double marriage with Zihua, a girl working in the restaurant. With his wife’s acquiescence, Zihua has borne him two daughters, Laichun and Lairi. One day amidst the bustling in the restaurant, Laichun’s mother rushes to the restroom and gives birth to her third child, a boy, at long last. Laichun has mixed feelings about the arrival of her brother. She doesn’t understand why her mother who is in her forties keeps trying to bear an heir. She resents the idea that women are, after all, something used to produce offspring. Jie, the younger brother of Laichun’s father, has recently joined the family. He is autistic and completely uncommunicative with the outside world. His eccentric and unpredictable behaviour inevitably brings upheavals to Laichun’s already hectic family life. Another shocking realisation dawns on Laichun - she’s pregnant! This fact forces her to confront her unfaithful and irresponsible boyfriend, the reproachful reaction from her family and most important of all - her doubt about maternity. How will Laichun reconcile herself to the future with her unborn child and her extended family?
