In the 1970s, amidst the chaos of the Vietnam War and the Khmer Rouge genocide, a refugee crisis emerged in Indochina. Taiwan established a refugee camp in Penghu, but this chapter of history is missing from UN records, as if it were hidden and forgotten.

Two young Vietnamese sisters, Phuong and Chi, flee from Saigon, Vietnam, with their family aboard the "Ching Feng" refugee boat. However, the boat is stranded at sea for 66 days, with only 34 of the 146 passengers surviving. These survivors are taken to the Vietnamese refugee camp in Penghu, Taiwan. Phuong and Chi‘s mother and brother have died on the boat. They became each other’s only family, living in the camp for three years. Eventually, Lien dies in the camp, while Phuong is later taken in by the Belgian government.

In 2003, in Brussels, Belgium, Phuong wakes up from a dream in Tears. In the dream, she sees her deceased sister Chi and Chi’s dream. In this dream within the dream , Phuong learns that the Penghu refugee camp will be demolished next month.
