Wei-Jung CHANG Ting-Hui LI 2010 Taiwan Documentary color 20min Mandarin, Taiwanese Beta
A career woman has to balance herself between family and work. It’s never so easy. This documentary presents how the protagonist, a female working in a flower market, restarted her new life after experiencing domestic violence and divorce. Filmed from a daughter’s viewpoint, the filmmaker shot her strong-willed mother under the lens. The daughters soon realized that their mom was more stronger than they could imagine. Later, the mother started a new relationship with another partner she met, and her two daughters cast aside their distrust and eventually accepted the new dad. The film introduces a different idea of what is called “home.”
