七個完全沒有時空連接卻又環環相扣的人物與故事，一同遊走於生命迷宮。
這是有關生與死的故事：一個走上自毀之路的運動員、一個患有精神分裂的演員和他的其他性格、一個追尋丈夫秘密的太太、一個墮進自己所創造的陷阱的女作家，以及一個昏迷多時的病人，他們各自活在自己的時空，卻又同時闖進了別人的世界。他們穿梭往來，各自尋找、發現，就像胎兒在出生之前必先要旋轉 270 度才可離開母體一様。
人生總是要兜兜轉轉、尋尋覓覓始能走過生和死……
Rotate 270° is a collection of seven stories which have no connection in time or space but are tightly interwoven as the characters travel together in the labyrinth of life.
This is a story about life and death, depicting a self-destructive athlete, a schizophrenic actor, an award-winning yet depressed female writer, and a comatose patient. They each live in their own time and space but simultaneously invade the worlds of the others. They traverse back and forth searching and discovering, just like the obligatory 270˚ rotation that a fetus must perform before leaving the womb.
Life’s endless cycles and searches are the origin of the understanding of life and death.
