A-Yu, a woman just released
from prison, has an isolated ego. She fell in love with two
different men. However, the love faded so soon. A-Yu, with
the injured soul, returns to her close-friend Ann. They were
in the same jail. As the true sisterhood, Ann takes care of
A-Yu and comforts her tormented soul with warmth and generosity.
One day during a puppet show an autistic fisherman with puppets
in his hands makes A-Yu burst into a bright smile unseen for
long time … “Hard to be discovered, there is an
emotion so light as a feather, but deeper than a ocean, tasteless
as the air, but wider than the ocean, it transcends sex, race,
class. But it is only noticed when you are willing to open
your mind and take a glance at it”.
