Director of Hard Good Life presents her latest heart touching work. From the second she learned how to hold a camera, she gazed at her father through the lens all the time. This film is a memory collection, after her father got cancer, they went through all kinds of treatment together, lose or gain, hope or sorrow. This unbreakable connection supported them to the very last moment and never faded away.
