Renowned chef Chu (Sihung Lung) is a widower living with his three grown daughters. He struggles to strengthen their family ties while dealing with their romantic pursuits, their professional success, and their struggle for independence in this sentimental look at a modern Chinese family.

"Abetted by superb cinematography by Jong Lin and a score by Mader as simple yet evocative as the story itself, Ang Lee has crafted another complexly emotional tale of modern life."
