In her remarkable solo directorial debut, Tsou Shih-Ching crafts an intimate portrait of three generations wrestling with tradition and change in modern Taipei. After moving from the countryside, single mother Shu-Fen and her daughters– rebellious twenty-year-old I-Ann and curious five-year-old I-Jing – struggle to make ends meet running a night market noodle stall. When I-Jing's grandfather condemns her left-handedness as demonic, family secrets begin to surface. Co-written and produced by Sean Baker, this tender exploration of family bonds and quiet rebellion pulses with the vibrant energy of Taipei's neon-lit streets.
