Introduction
A reinterpretation of Shakespeare's classic character. "Juliet." Three Times, Three Identities, Three Love Stories...
Synopsis
In the 1970's Ju, who never fell in love, works in a printing store. One day a neat, good-looking boy comes to the store with banned articles in his hands, Ju's life is not monotonous anymore. Mei has just been through a breakup and is told a true story—in the 80's, a woman moved into a madhouse by faking insanity so that she could wait for her lover without being disturbed.In 2010, 40-year-old "Juliet" tries to commit suicide but a commercial-shooting crew gets in the way. Then "Juliet" meets someone who is more obstinate about love. What will be Juliet's final decision—to live or to die?
