The racing pigeon 043 that disappeared in a race seven years ago now flies back. Legally, a missing person can be declared dead after seven years. Ah Chin (a raiser of racing pigeons and the master of the said pigeon) and his wife Ah Min disagreed on the declaration of the death of their son Xiao Shi missing for years, and their disturbed daughter Monroe aspires to run away for freedom. Monroe hides Xiao Hu, a young bird smuggler, in her house after Xiao Hu’s delinquency is disclosed. The boy begins to learn about pigeon breeding, with Ah Chin acting as a fatherly instructor. Ah Chin educates Xiao Hu in a way to compensate for his parenting failure, whereas Ah Min secretly applies for a declaration of the death of Xiao Shi, leading to tumults in the family. Xiao Hu quietly took revenge by catching pigeons with nets, an act doomed to failure. At the threshold between yin and yang, pigeons scream loudly, as if to signal the return Ah Chin long aspires to.
