"Tudou", freshly 19, lives with his uncle and older brother in a Sanheyuan compound. He starts to fend for himself at an early age and takes on high-risk jobs of labor, even ones in legal grey areas. A group of young people from the countryside of Yunlin, Taiwan are eager to turn their lives around, but life is ever changing. When they join the workforce and start a family at an early age, will their children share the same fate?
In Their Teens
The director's pregnant sister moved to Hsinchu upon marriage and hasn't returned to Taipei in a year. Their mother hoped to tend his sister during postpartum confinement, but instead, this made their relationship deteriorate even further. The director also uses the camera to search for traces of his father, a Taiwanese businessman in mainland China who has been absent since his childhood. The film tells the story of how their family fell apart more than 30 years ago and then came back together.
