CGiii Comment

Someone should have told the writer to spruce things up a little - because, the audience will be sound asleep within the first 10 minutes.

Possibly, the most boring gay-themed film to come out of Taiwan.

The(ir) Blurb...

A woman who believes she chose an unconventional path in her life is startled to find her children are stepping further beyond society's boundaries in this drama from Taiwanese filmmaker Chiang Hsiu-chiung.

Ai-tsao is a widow who is nearly 60 years old; her husband, over twenty years her senior, has been dead for nearly two decades, and Ai-tsao's life has settled into a comfortable routine of looking after her elderly mother and doting on her two adult children.
