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. Cert: 15.
