ABSTRACT
NJ, wife Min-Min, daughter Ting-Ting, and son Yang-Yang are an average family living average lives in contemporary Taiwan; an ill-fated wedding for Min-Min's brother proves to be the first in a series of inopportune events threatening to disrupt their agreeable order, however, when her mother leaves early and suffers a massive stroke.
