Growing up in a small Taiwanese fishing village, Bu (Shu Qi) never imagined her life would ever reach much farther than the door of her parents’ little restaurant. But when she finds a romantic message in a bottle, she begins to wonder if there may be a different life waiting for her, if only she had the courage to reach out and grab it.
