College student Yo-si unexpectedly travels 100 years back in time with an eccentric history professor. Not only does Yo-si get to experience firsthand the imperial glory of the Japanese Empire and Twa-Tiu-Tiann, the most prosperous area in Taipei as it was in the 1920s, but he also falls in love with the prettiest geisha in town. However, Yo-si must unwillingly return to present-day Taipei when he becomes involved in a secret mission concerning the royal visit of Japanese crown prince Hirohito.
The movie is permeated by a typical Taiwanese spirit that recapitulates history in a fantasy-like style. At the same time, it cleverly blends popular catchphrases from films and TV programs into its story. The movie epitomizes how popular culture in Taiwan uses fashionable references to convey historical messages.
