    Adios ! Madrid

    Catherine WU 2017 Taiwan Documentary color 100min Chinese Blu-ray
    Studying dance in Spain was the dream of Lian Ho. However she gave it up to return to Taiwan for a shotgun marriage. Now she is a single mother suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. In between choreography and teaching, she returns yearly to Spain for further training. Even though this doesn't grant her any formal credentials, she continues pursuing her dreams, insisting on using the ethnicity of the Taiwanese people and familiar Taiwanese songs to portray flamenco dance that belongs truly to her people. Having been blessed with love and acceptance from her family, she is able to love others. She holds firmly to her promise to the aboriginal children to teach them dancing every winter and summer vacations with her own finances. She could relate to her father's early turmoil years, driving her to create moving dance dramas that resonate with the audience. Acknowledging her own imperfections and remorseful over her frivolous youth, she fears her daughter, Xian, who shares her passion in dancing, would one day give up her dreams as well. However, having gone through her own willful years, she extends the most possible grace to Xian.
