Synopsis : |
The three-generation Ha-yong family inhabits
an indigenous community on a highland exceeding an altitude of 1000
m, an area covered with fog even in late September. The family starts
their day with a wisp of smoke from the fireplace. The Atayal tradition “GAGA” that Grandpa Ha-yong
(played by Wilang
Noming), the chieftain, has followed all his life has long been ignored
by tribespeople nowadays. He can only repeatedly remind his grandson Yi-nuo
(played by Yukan
Losing), an aspiring hunter who dislikes studying, of this tribal belief
system. The
boundary-crossing by the village head Dou-li (played by Fa Ai)’s family upsets
the Ha-yongs, who try to claim their rights but fail. Ha-yong’s eldest son
Pasang attempts to consolidate the family’s status through the upcoming chief
election. Since
Pasang’s wife passed away unexpectedly, there has always been a gap and an
invisible wall between him and his daughter Ah-li (played by Lin Ting-Li). This
late autumn sees Ah-li’s return after part-time working in New Zealand and
Grandpa Ha-yong’s sudden death. The community is surrounded by thick fog, just
like the intriguing atmosphere in the Ha-yongs this winter. Pasang’s
decision regarding election following Ha-yong's death is undoubtedly a shock to
the family. The unexpected visit of a foreign beau, Andy (played by Andy
Huang), urther fbrings shocks and jokes to this traditional chieftain family.
Xi-lang
(played by Gaki Baunay), Pasang’s younger brother, involves his family in the
election campaign, leading to disputes with his wife Yu-li (played by Esther
Huang). The grandma
(played by Kagaw Piling) is originally against Pasang’s decision, but
the entire family eventually makes a crazy bet for the election. |
