Two sisters Tae and Yo come back to their old house which is soon to be torn down. Clearing up the family mementos, Tae finds a red box full of recipes and letters written by their mother who died 20 years ago.

Tae travels to Taiwan to trace her mother's past, reminiscing about the dishes she made for the family.
