Sinopsis:

A mother works tirelessly for rich clients so she can send her daughter to study in the United States, one example of how Asian parents devote themselves to their grown children. The montage illustrates the detailed procedure of dressmaking, and the phone conversation covers credit-card expenses, converted from US dollars to Taiwanese yuan.
