Escaping from the midlands of southern Taiwan, a pregnant Thai illegal enlists the help of a fellow Indonesian runaway to locate the father of her child – who has disappeared in the mountains. As they travel in a stolen van amidst the mountain plantations, avoiding the suspicions of the authorities – a mist descends upon them and blur the lines of their communication and reality. The main setting is a gas station and a mountain road in the dark. In the filming process, the VR camera is set inside the car and the director shifts between settings inside and outside the car. The long take is portrayed without edits and punctuated by unrealistic images.
