The island of Little Liu Chiuyu(小琉球) sits alone on the outskirts of the Taiwan strait. Like a ball floating in the middle of the ocean, ancient people have given it the name "Liu Chiuyu"(琉球) or Floating Ball. Surrounding this little island are more floating balls. They are the boathouses belonging to Mainland Chinese fishermen. These balls that have been floating for years on end, are also called 'ocean hotels.' 　 Divided into three segments, the film depicts the fate, the humanity and the destiny of these floating balls. Segment I: A New Life. (新生之路) Segment II: Returning Home. (望鄉) Segment III: A-Yang the islander. (鳥人阿揚) Close
