Synopsis:

Bundled director Singing Chen crafts with this multi-character drama concerning intersecting lives in contemporary Taiwan. Ching (Tracy Su) is a hand model locked in the throes of post-partum depression, and her marriage to husband A Xiong (Chang Han) hasn't been going well as of late. As the couple wages a noble battle to salvage their failing union, Niu Jiao (Jack Gao) fixes statues of Buddhist deities and drives them to local religious celebrations to the delight of reverent worshippers across Thailand. Meanwhile, young runaway Xian (Jonathan Chang) attempts to support himself by stealing and winning various eating competitions, and aboriginal carver Biung does his best to avoid the bottle as his fierce daughter Savi prepares to study kickboxing in Taiwan. As each of these characters valiantly battle to stabilize their turbulent lives, their paths begin to cross in a series of curious ways.

This is a rhapsody of Gods, men, and dogs down and out together. A meandering truck full of gods gets mixed up with a cast of outcasts whose lives gradually entwine with each other. Yellow Bull, the owner of the truck, travels around giving shelter to deserted god statues yet can't afford to have his artificial leg fixed. Biung, an alcoholic aboriginal, transports top-class peaches between a remote village and Taipei city yet finds himself less valued than even a peach. Ching, a depressed middle class wife, attempts to redeem her marriage after the death of her newborn. Then there's a fatal car accident caused by a stray dog. Can it change their lives and put an end to the obvious and distinct boundaries between them?
