In Taipei Exchanges, a young woman named Doris pursues her dream of opening a stylish coffee shop in a trendy neighborhood, but struggles to attract customers. Her sister Josie suggests implementing a bartering system, which surprisingly turns the café into a bustling hub where people exchange not only goods, but also stories and experiences. One day, a traveler enters the café with 35 uniquely crafted soaps from around the world, each with its own tale to tell. As Doris learns about the world beyond Taipei, she discovers that the true value of her café lies not in the goods exchanged, but in the connections and memories forged between strangers.
