Days on the Crosswalk

CHANG Heng-Ju 2006 Taiwan Fiction color 30min Betacam
Ah-Chun was out of job. To keep supporting the family, he forced to take an odd-job, standing on the crosswalk in Hsimending, distributing flyers. Besides, in order not to worry his 月 mother, he dressed up in a smart suit every morning, pretending to go to office without anything disturbing, and then changed his clothes somewhere, putting up the bright-yellow jumper for labor-hours. The tedious days were always filled up with flyers, cigarettes, and mom's nagging. But No job yet, and the loan was tight and urging. It's almost Chinese New Year, how does this family face its future?
