The people of ancient times gave this island an interesting and carefree name. But the meaning, that which is symbolized by the island, is no longer so simple. Complications of modernity have exposed the essence of the real situation. The relationship between people and land: from co-existence to labeling and claiming ownership, to losing focus of the larger common goal, characterizes the problem of the Diao Yu Tai Island(釣魚台). No longer just a matter to be solved by "who can prove ownership of the island," this film hopes to discard the blind spot of "patriotism" and start from a point where people can re-evaluate the meaning and importance of "human needs" vs. "nature", "self" vs. "country", "country" vs. homeland."
