No Seasons

Wan Pei-Chyi 2003 Taiwan Documentary color 60min Chinese Beta
1 family, 2 passengers: a grandmother and her grandchild, in 3 cities; this is a story with 4 paragraphs. This is just a Diaspora tale about an outland family; people came from Mainland China to Taiwan many years ago. Fragmentary images and uncertain passage, all these are or aren't about remembrance. We get in and away from the journey of time; and freeze between the frames of memory.
Remember, or not remember.
This is a story about me and my family.
And I meet my grandmother’s memory just on my way.
