เรื่องย่อ

As Sophie steps off the plane at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the humid summer air envelops her like a warm hug. She's been sent by her parents to participate in a cultural immersion program, hoping to broaden her horizons and gain some independence. As she navigates the bustling streets of Taipei, Sophie is struck by the city's vibrant energy and the sensory overload that comes with it. Her host family, the Lin's, welcome Sophie into their home with open arms, and she quickly settles into a routine of language classes, cooking lessons, and excursions to local landmarks. But despite the excitement of exploring this new world, Sophie finds herself struggling to adjust to the cultural differences and feeling homesick for her familiar life back in America. It's during one of her early solo adventures that Sophie meets Chen, a charming and laid-back Taiwanese artist who takes her under his wing. As they explore the city's hidden corners and street food markets together, Sophie begins to open up about her fears and doubts, and Chen listens with a gentle understanding that she finds deeply comforting. As their friendship blossoms into something more, Sophie is forced to confront her own identity and the expectations placed upon her by others. She must navigate the complexities of cultural differences and societal pressures as she navigates her new relationship with Chen. Through her experiences in Taipei, Sophie learns valuable lessons about self-acceptance, resilience, and the power of human connection. As she delves deeper into Taiwanese culture and tradition, Sophie discovers a sense of belonging that goes beyond language barriers or geographical borders. And as she prepares to leave Taiwan behind, Sophie knows that she will carry the memories and lessons of her journey with her forever.
