The film moves, on the edges of the island, trying to converse with the four sides, and to see how life settles itself through the stories from the four remote corners. The far South﹕two homeless women who sing with the music and glean. The far West﹕on the polluted Western coast, a heart-broken young man wanders along the beach where the nuclear power plane looms above. The far North﹕on a busy yet gloomy railroad street, a prostitute doesn't know whether she is human or just a ghostly being. The far East﹕an Atayal boy who wants to fly across the ocean. A seemingly carefree boy who wants to take his little sister to run away. A one-year journey; A one-hour film. Everyone would survive, and overcome the misery, no matter how old they are, what they have been through, where do they come from or what kind of situation they are in. Close
