Amidst spectacular scenery of serene lakes and majestic mountains, Old WEI, a tough guy from Shandong, marries A-yue, a young girl from Taiwan. However, A-yue was unaware that her new husband, was having nightmares every night, and often getting together with friends to post and distribute anti-CHIANG Kai-shek propaganda, and listen to Communist broadcasts of the Cultural Revolution. The two eventually divorce. Old WEI wants to see A-yue again, but behind the closed door to the study, what is Old WEI going to say to A-yue?
The extremely beautiful scenery and the refreshing images of old alleys make a contrast to the darkness of the characters’ plotting and intrigues. Furthermore, using window frames to symbolize how ordinary people were constrained by the space and era they were in, the movie precisely captures the crisis brought about by the White Terror and its sense of repression.
