“A wife battles to keep her husband's body intact after he dies of a leg amputation.”
In this deliciously dark comedy, a woman desperately attempts to reunite her husband's amputated leg with his body before his funeral, leading her on a wild goose chase across Taipei and through multiple encounters with bureaucracy, ineptitude, and her own recent past.
