Synopsis

Rough weather on a typhoon night. A middle-aged man living in an urban high-rise is making a pot of pork rib & preserved cabbage soup. The aroma of steaming soup evokes his memories; his memories turn into a cat, who travels back to the sunny Huofang of the old days. Outside the Huofang, Hakka women are busy making preserved vegetables. As the cat progresses, his blurred childhood memories become unclouded, step by step. He recalls the everyday life on a Taiwanese traditional farm, where people preserve foods and save seeds, in a cycle of the seasons.
