Storyline:
On Sept. 21, 1999, a 7.6-magnitude earthquake rocked central Taiwan at precisely 1:47 a.m. More than 2,300 people died in the disaster and thousands more lives was irrevocably changed. The impact of the earthquake lingers in the collective memory of all Taiwan people. With five undelivered letters, director Wu follows the survivors of the earthquake as they cope with the tragedy while reflecting on his own relationship with his senior father. The film explores the meaning of life in light of separation between loved ones in life and death, suffering and rebirth.
這一部關於台灣921大地震的紀錄片，1999年9月21日，台灣發生五十年來最嚴重的大地震。影片中五封寄不出去的信，娓娓道來災難中失去摯愛的數個家庭的悲痛與重生。導演和他住在安養院年邁父親間的關係，生命的意義。
