In rural Taiwan, a man comes to terms with his relationship with his aging father. They make their livelihood by working on a pear orchard utilizing the grafting technique of joining the scion of a Japanese pear tree to the stock of a Taiwanese pear tree. After years of repression and enmeshment, the son feels his efforts are never enough. He tries to break free but ultimately dependence is stronger.
