We'll meet in the lobby just before the film. After the film we'll have a drink/snack in the café and chat about it.

Summary/Reviews:
"One of those movies so emotionally expansive that while watching it you feel like it might contain the whole of human experience."

"Only rarely is a film this observant and tender about the ups and downs of daily existence."

Set in Taiwan, the film follows the lives of the Jian family from the alternating perspectives of the three main family members: father N.J. (Nien-Jen Wu), teenage daughter Ting-Ting (Elaine Jin) and young son Yang-Yang (Issei Ogata). N.J., disgruntled with his current job, attempts to court the favor of a prominent video game company while Ting-Ting and Yang-Yang contend with the various trials of youth, all while caring for N.J.'s mother-in-law, who lies in a coma.
