Synopsis

In the 1994 post-martial law period in Taiwan, the students were in the midst of protest. Frustrated by the culture of implicit obedience in school, Chi-wei (19), a female college student, joins the strike to fight for their freedom of expression. During the protest, Chi-wei is slowly attracted by Ching (21), whose boyfriend Kuang (22) is the leader of the student strike. As the passionate protest enflames personal desires, the chemistry between Chi-wei and Ching gradually intensifies. However, Kuang also shows a romantic interest in Chi-wei. Both the strike and their triangle relationship go wild and vibrant. The harder they love, the more hurt and damage they experience. The power and love struggles are closely intertwined. Eventually, Chi-wei realizes that her desire and emotion are unconstrained as their creative freedom. For her, it's not only a protest for freedom but also an inner fight for her self-awakening.
