Forty years of Taiwanese history come to the surface in this tender yet powerful tale of nostalgia about one woman’s search for happiness. As her grandma passes away, a Taiwanese woman who settled in New York returns to her homeland. Reunion with family, classmates, and friends from childhood trigger her own introspection about what she left behind, sending her back to her youth during Taiwan’s period of political instability in the 1970s. With voiceover by renowned actress Gwei Lun-mei, this charming autobiographical animated film by first-time director Sung Hsin-yin gives insight into Taiwan’s political past. North American Premiere
