“A bird captured by the sky looks for shelter”

Theater director Lin Su recruits Nan Xi, a recent college graduate and first-time actress, to play a suicidal young woman in his latest production. Nan Xi showed great talent in acting, but struggles to connect with her role. Off stage, Lin Su confronts a lingering attachment from his past, while Nan Xi navigates a troubled childhood, family pressure, and a love she has no answer for.
