In that accident which happened on a stormy night, the male driver was instantly killed, and the female passenger Hsu Ai-ting fell into a coma. In a panic, Hsiao-chi took photos of the hit-and-run vehicle registration plate. However, the pictures were too blurry to be used as evidence, and therefore facts of the accident were never established. Years later, Hsiao-chi discovers that his second-hand car is connected to that accident and he begins his search for the truth behind this long forgotten case. Cast
ProductionPrincipal photography on the film began in March 2016.[8] Filming wrapped up one and a half months later. Much of the film was shot using a handheld camera, with the intention of conveying the realist setting. The director stated: "by using such a technique it makes the audiences feel as if they were the witnesses themselves."[9] Soundtrack
