Tiger receives a phone call from a woman named Mani, who says she is blind. Mani tells Tiger of her first love and heartbreak from years ago. Eventually, Tiger reciprocates with his own story of loss and betrayal. After leaving the shop, under a bewitching sun, Tiger finds himself somehow transported to the streets of Taipei 30 years ago.
