In Taiwan, a dead body used for medical dissection is called “a silent teacher.” This film tells a story of Mrs. Lin-whose body will be dissected the next year, with the coming “students” and the lost family members around her. Before the semester starts, the students are asked to visit Mrs. Lin’s family, while the bodies, under the knife in class, are no longer cold bodies but friends whom they get to know better, how will the students feel during the class while they are supposed to conquer the inner anxiety and fear when facing the anatomy task? Whatever the answers might be, Mrs. Lin, the “silent teacher” will definitely teach the college students and her family more about the meaning of life.  Close
