The video is a narrative game reconstructing Lai's own video diaries (1990-2003) and found footage. It plays with the thin line between remembering and fabricating, recording and staging, documentary and story... It shows 13 women's stories as a network of acquaintances, each in an isolated moment of her life. Questions on the practice of auto-ethnography are raised via "the politics of the everyday."
