The Possible Memoirs of a Traitor (2019)

The story starts with the screening of a documentary about Ma-mi.

In the 90s, MA Tai-xiang (also known as Ma-mi), a person living with HIV, established a shelter called the Sweet Ma's. Many patients and volunteers gathered here and supported one another like family members. Everything was fine until one day the Sweet Ma's was anonymously reported as a place for drug parties, which led to the closure of the shelter that used to be a home for the infected. 

More than ten years have passed. A woman named Jun-fan becomes interested in the real reason behind the closure of the Sweet Ma's and wants to know how everything started, that is, the story of Ma-mi. For this reason, she starts her documentary film project. Based on the diary of Ma-mi, Jun-fan is able to interview friends and relatives who were close to Ma-mi. However, each person tells a very different story about Ma-mi. Jun-fan has to put together the puzzle-like fragments of information about Ma-mi in order to find out the truth from descriptions of Ma-mi as told by people with different and often opposite positions.

At the end, Ma-mi appears in person. Will his statements be the final answer? Or are they just versions of possible memoirs?
