Synopsis:

This Taiwanese romantic drama has political overtones. It is the story of a radical political activist who was incarcerated 10 years ago for throwing bombs. In prison, Lin-lang sustains herself by keeping her political passions burning and by remaining devoted to her former lover, Wang Rong, who has since married and owns a successful coffee shop. Upon her release, Lin-lang goes to look for Wang, and finally finds him at his favorite baseball practice field. He is not happy to see her and shows no interest in politics or in renewing their relationship, which is suddenly presented via flashback.
