Synopsis

A Taiwanese-American boy, Felix, posted a puzzling notice on the door of his bedroom and ended his own life on Independence Day, 1996. Devastated by the tragedy, his father, Dr. Wen, left Iowa City, and moved to Miami to have distanced him somewhat from the traumatic experience. Six years later, Sebastian, a cancer patient from Peru, came to receive treatment from him and brought alternative perspectives on life.

This film focuses on the transience, conflicts, and mysteriousness of life through the stories of two adolescents of the same age.
