Misuo, an entomologist, is shown a reconstruction project of an old building by her architect boyfriend. Later, images that are not part of her own memory start to emerge. A girl named Xiao-xiang has her leg bumped by a passerby’s luggage while hurrying across a footbridge. On the same day, Misuo is injured at exactly the same spot. Xiao-xiang’s former home was the old building that Miso’s boyfriend is about to reconstruct. There, Xiao-xiang’s childhood images flash before her eyes, some of which intrude into Misuo’s memories.
With the help of text in the film, the mysterious telepathy between Misuo and Xiao-xiang, and the sophisticated interweaving relationships among characters, are gently developed into images that serve to cue the audience.
