abstractSynopsis:
The Chinese family of four, Father, Mother, Sister/V, and Brother/Tai, looks like a classic example of happiness. However, the ghostly existence of a nanny, Aunt, who has been taking care of V since she was a baby, becomes the factor that constantly transforms the household into a storm of resentment, anger, and violence. The time when Aunt leaves the family and gets married, V has to face the reality of being trapped in a house full of strangers, but it only gets worse from there: It turns out that Aunt suffers from severe domestic violence from her husband. Over the years, her escalating misery keeps pushing V deeper and deeper into the agony of being powerless, and the hatred towards Mother and Father. And finally, when Aunt commits the crime of killing her husband, V is ultimately shattered and the household sinks into utter tragedy. Tai, the innocent brother who has witnessed everything, will be the story-teller and leads us through the years of struggles of the family, which he loves, from the bottom of his heart.
