Synopsis

Ai Ai and Berry return to Taiwan after working as adult film actors in Japan to join the wrestling club run by Aunt Shun. They slowly develop friendships with the club members, but when their trainer, Snowy, finds out that Shun was intending to recruit them for an ‘erotic wrestling show’, she leaves the club. And to make matters worse, the club is on the verge of shutting down when Shun gets hurt. Adult films and wrestling are similar, according to Ai Ai, as they are both forms of sports as well as ‘performances’. As the film highlights these similarities, these women on the fringes of society experience inner growth, friendship and solidarity through failure and pain, which can sometimes come across as quite conventional, yet with a good sense of comedy.
