Set in Taiwan, the film follows the lives of the Jian family from the alternating perspectives of the three main family members: father N.J. (Nien-Jen Wu), teenage daughter Ting-Ting (Elaine Jin) and young son Yang-Yang (Issei Ogata). N.J., disgruntled with his current job, attempts to court the favor of a prominent video game company while Ting-Ting and Yang-Yang contend with the various trials of youth, all while caring for N.J.`s mother-in-law, who lies in a coma.

This month, with love and sadness we bring to you a constellation of beautiful films centered around the idea of finding yourself in the vast and isolating landscaping of a metropolis, hurling towards modernity, giving us everything and nothing at the same time. 

We hope you love these works of art as much as we do <3
