“Forty years of Taiwanese history comes under review in this tender and powerful nostalgic tale of the search for happiness. After the death of her grandma, Chi, a New York-based woman returns to her homeland in Taiwan. Her reunion with family, classmates, and forgotten memories trigger a self-introspection about what she left behind. It covers her upbringing during Taiwan’s period of instability under martial law to present-day political realities”.
