Chi earned her American dream after persevering with her studies in Taiwan.
Following her grandmothers’ death, Chi returns to her family on Happiness Road, where she begins to feel nostalgic about her childhood and starts to contemplate the meaning of “life” and “home”.
“Born in the 1970s, Chi (voiced by Gwei Lun-Mei) grew up in a family of modest means in post-Chiang Kai Shek Taiwan. Years later, she returns from life in the U.S. to attend her grandmother’s funeral, which prompts her to come to terms with her younger self. Sung Hsin-Yin’s hand-drawn animated debut feature delicately reflects upon the evolution of Taiwanese society and history through a woman’s coming-of-age story. Closing Night Film, 2017 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival.” [hkiff]
