This becomes a catalyst that connects seemingly unrelated couples and former lovers, weaving a complex and grand narrative of love.Why are we born in this life? Who do we love in this life? The enigmatic woman, is she his deceased daughter? Or is she his lost lover? They are different yet so similar...
