Who’ll Stop the Rain

During the protest, CHi-wei is slowly attracted by Ching (21), whose boyfriend Kuang (22) is the leader of the student strike. As the passionate protest enflames personal desires, the chemistry between Chi-wei and Ching gradually intensifies. However, Kuang also shows a romantic interest in Chi-wei.
Both the strike and their triangle relationship go wild and vibrant. The stronger the love, the more hurt and damage the experience. The power and love struggles are closely intertwined. Eventually, Chi-wei realizes that her desire and emotion are unconstrained as their creative freedom. For her, it's not only a protest for freedom but also an inner fight for her self-awakening.
