performance) has been

Yee (Tony Leung Chiu
Wai), the head of the
Japanese puppet
governments secret
police, and arrange for

Mak"e; and attempts

Kuang (Leehom Wang). But

Returning to the

after Twenty Something
Taipei,
actor-turned-director
Leon Dai sensitively
recounts the
circumstances that
brought them to that
bridge in a brilliant
black-and-white docudrama
that is as simple as it
is stunning. Li Wu Hsiung
(played by the films
co-writer and producer
Chen Wen Pin) and his
young daughter Mei (Chao
Yo Hsuan) squat in a
rundown shack at a
Kaohsiung port. Though
poor, the two have each
other and thats enough.
With Mei reaching school
age, Li tries to enroll
her for school, but the
process reveals that he
doesnt have the necessary
paperwork to prove he is
Meis legal guardian. When
the authorities threaten
to take Mei away, Li
fights back with
everything hes got, but
everywhere he goes its
more bureaucracy and red
tape, and a mounting
desperation that drives
him to the edge.
