In Hanoi, an ordinary middle-class family consisting of four siblings, the eldest sister Xiang and her photographer husband Kun have one son, but their sex life is unsatisfactory. The second sister Qing (Li Qing) married writer Jin not long ago, and the youngest sister Lin (Chen Nü Yan Xi) suffers from claustrophobia, maintaining an ambiguous relationship with her brother Hai. On their mother’s ceremonial day, the three sisters reminisce about the mysterious man famously referred to as "Mother's Tan." In search of writing inspiration, Jin travels to Saigon to gather information about Tan. During this time, he discovers that Mei is pregnant and cannot understand why she kept it a secret. Xiang has an affair while Kun is on a business trip, and Lin, while maintaining an ambiguous relationship with Hai, is also dating another boy. Beneath the surface of their seemingly calm lives, each sister has secrets and worries they are reluctant to share.
