Maorong is a thirty-seven year old man who owns a small traveling
agency in Taoyuan. He is worried about his poor health. One evening,
while playing pool, he runs into an old friend, Lide. Maorong notices
Lide's hair turned all white, while his face had considerably aged.
One year before, Lide experienced the dreadful pain of becoming a
widower and never fully recovered. He asks Maorong to fetch some
documents at his house. Maorong accepts the request; he is about to
enter the uninhabited, dark and quiet apartment where Lide's wife
passed away.

something in her isolation. Her gender seems the main obstacle she is
facing. The only solution she finds is to let go her past, but in the
most poetic way as her hair becomes the metaphor of her freedom
