Raw, commanding and thoughtful Taiwanese drama about compassion and decency in the face of inequality and invisibility.
An undocumented Thai careworker living in a remote region of Taiwan cares for the disabled and elderly, as he is forced to navigate their mutual lack of status and currency.
This is a subtle and carefully painted portrait of disenfranchised people who are victims of a system that barely acknowledges them. Unflinching, deeply humane and beautifully shot, the film pulls no punches while retaining empathy and care for its subjects.
