The taciturn Chu has lost his sense of taste (can’t even enjoy his own great cooking) and seemingly can only communicate with his daughters through their ritualized Sunday feast he prepares, though at these dinners something always comes up that leaves them upset with each other and shows there’s a widening generation gap. Chu would like to see them married but is too repressed to talk about it, and they would like to leave the house but don’t know how to. The still heartbroken Jia-Jen was supposedly dumped by her college lover some nine years ago and takes comfort only in being a devoted Christian and a hard-nosed, prim and humorless teacher, but she secretly yearns for the sexy new volleyball coach Ming-Dao. Jia-Chien is having casual sex with her artist ex-lover Raymond (Lester Chit-Man Chan) and has developed a close relationship with a smug married workplace executive named Li Kai (Winston Chao). Lightweight Jia-Ning has stolen the boyfriend from her fast-food workplace friend Rachel (Yu Chen), who reads Dostoyevsky but that’s not enough to give him the smarts to prevent him from easily getting manipulated by the aggressive girl’s seduction.
