Description
[Machine Translation] Winner of four awards at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival! Hou Hsiao-hsien entrusted the next generation with this heartwarming and moving story by Hsiao Ya-chuen. The main character, Liao Jie, is played by Bai Lung-Ying, a child prodigy who, in order to adjust to life in 1989, voluntarily stopped using his cell phone three months prior to the shooting of the film. Liao Tai Lai, Liao Jie's father, is played by Liu Guangting, a talented actor whose strong performance in "The Girl a Second Ahead" is still fresh in our minds. The landlord Xia is played by Akio Chen, who won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival. The two adults, who lead opposite lives, help the boy grow up. In addition, Mugi Kadowaki from Japan plays the role of Yang Jun Mei, Liao Tai Lai's childhood friend. This Taiwan-Japan co-production adds to the story with a cast that could only have been made possible by a Taiwanese-Japanese co-production. The film is directed by Hsiao Ya-chuen, who worked as assistant director to Hou Hsiao-hsien and won the Best Director Award at the Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival for this film. He wishes, above all, to convey the importance of compassion, and this film is based on his own experience. With Hou Hsiao-hsien serving as executive producer, the film offers a glimpse of the dawn of the next generation in the lineage of Taiwanese new cinema. The closing theme "When I Fall In Love," performed softly by Yellow Huang Xuan, is also a must-listen. --Liao Jie lives with her father in the suburbs of Taipei. He dreams of one day owning a house and a store of his own. One day, Liao Jie meets Xia, a landowner who is known as a "cunning fox. Xia is the complete opposite of his kind and sincere father, and says that he does not care about others in order to survive. Liao Jie's heart begins to waver as he sees his father's and son's dreams fade away as the price of real estate soars higher and higher during the bubble economy. What is the path that Liao Jie, who is forced to make a life choice, chooses?
