Titisi is an Indonesian in-home carer looking after an old Taiwanese lady who is trapped in her illness and painful memories. The pair are close, even sharing a bed. Yet inevitably, there are tensions. The old lady can occasionally be rather difficult, though she looks upon Titisi as her daughter, taking a maternal interest in her life, whilst Titisi is restless, dreaming of romance and love with a man she has just met. As romance turns to heartache, Titisi comes to realize the depth of her bond with the old lady, who is always there for her, despite her failing health.
