Overview

What words carry, what they miss, and what they connect. Yunmei has left her hometown of Taiwan to pursue a career as an actress in Japan. She’s been cast in the lead role of a film but struggles with her Japanese lines. Around the same time, her older sister, Huiling, who works for a major corporation in Taiwan, is transferred to Japan, and Yunmei helps her find a place to live. However, the two often clash. Real-life sisters and actors vividly portray these distant siblings, gently capturing the uncertainty of communication and the quiet moments when hearts unexpectedly connect.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A tender, observational film about two sisters navigating distance and difference in a foreign country, finding unexpected moments of connection amid the friction. It moves slowly through small gestures and unspoken feelings, trusting that what goes unsaid matters as much as what's spoken aloud.
