The veteran detective Kuo buries deep in his heart a secret steeped in bitter regrets—though in twenty years, he has shed not one single tear. In this This story is one that is told through sign language. There are no sketch of ordinary lives, Kuo is the axis around whom the drama spins. A conventional conversations or flirting, no corny pick-up lines, and no sensual picture emerges from the gives and takes of the multitude of characters, whispering.
