Synopsis

In her debut behind the camera, Shu Qi unveils a delicate portrait of generational trauma and resilience.


Taiwan, 1988. Hsiao-lee, a quiet and withdrawn girl, grows up in silent gloom. Her encounter with Li-li, vibrant and carefree, reawakens long-buried dreams. But just as she begins to open up to the world, her mother Chuan’s past resurfaces, echoing her own pain. Caught between inherited sorrow and a longing for freedom, Hsiao-lee must navigate the shadows of a life she never chose.

Belgian dancer Victor Polster delivers a breathtaking, star-making performance that dominates the screen. Like a dance of despair. The film manages to film with respect. With enlivening performances and thoughtful filmmaking.

Emotionally devastating yet reassuringly empathetic.

Story: 4 | Acting: 4 | Visual: 4 | Music: 4 | Overall: 4

Victor Polster is brilliant as the graceful and beautiful Lana. Beautifully narrated and visually impressive, shocking even at some point. A film about Lara, a transgender woman, with a carefully presented informational side of medical and psychological detail. The film’s emotional climax, at which a dysphoric and depressed Lara injures her genitals with scissors, is both harrowing and a touch confounding.
