Hsiao Sa

A woman falls in love with two different girls, both singers - one in Shanghai during the late 1940s, the other in Taiwan during the late 1950s.

Arriving in Taiwan in the 1950s, Kuei-mei makes a disadvantageous marriage to a widower with three unruly kids and a bad gambling habit. Beautifully portrayed by celebrated actress Yang, she weathers pregnancies, her husband's infidelity, her daughter's resentment, a stint as servant in Japan, divorce, and illness while struggling to keep the family restaurant business afloat.

Three Taiwanese friends go through political, romantic and cultural changes, from childhood to middle age.

Annie and her family are spending the holidays with an old aunt at a remote mountain village. For this city girl, the big adventure begins at The Ching-Hsiow Villa! Here she learns of the old aunt\'s love story during the Japanese colonial era, meets a magic raccoon, and makes friends with the local Native Taiwanese. Full of surprises - and some minor dangers, too! - this is an unforgettable vacation for Annie and her family. One of the few outstanding Taiwanese animation productions in recent years and a nominee for Best Animated Features at the Golden Horse Award in 1997, ANNIE\'S MAGIC RACCOON is a simple and yet profound tale about the heart. It also reflects the emerging awareness of environmental and political issues in Taiwan in the early nineties.
