A Kuan is a young man raised by a single parent, and he cannot find warmth within his own family. He turns to friendship and love to sustain him instead. A storm nearly takes his life, yet that same storm is what gives him the chance to climb the mountain, where he meets Lao Zen and two young monks in a ruined temple. Along the way, a Taiwanese bear is killed. A group of scientific workers also travels into the mountains to practice wilderness survival skills. Through the contrast between mountain life and city life, A Kuan and Fang Sheng Xiong each go through an important journey of discovery. The film mixes comedy with slice of life.
