The filmmaker’s muse, Hannah Lin, as an almost blind masseuse. Why doesn’t she want to be cured? What is so comforting about the dark?
Mu-shih is a young woman who works as a masseuse. She had a blind daughter who died three years ago. Mu-shih obviously still has not yet overcome her sorrow, and when she herself slowly becomes blind, she refuses to have an operation. She wants to live on in the dark, because her child was not able to.
