The director of hit television dramas like Love Contract & Marry Me, Hsu Chao Jen now makes his feature film debut with Together, a lighthearted romantic comedy about romances on the streets of Taipei. Together is a study on how the members of one Taipei family deal with commitment & the possibilities of new romances in their lives. The film steers away from the typical melodramatic tone of similar stories, taking a surprisingly light, down-to-earth approach to commitment phobia & infidelity. Togethers ensemble cast is led by Kenny Bee ( Eagle Shooting Heroes) & Li Lieh ( Touch of the Light), two veteran actors who shine here as a married couple who may be on the brink of separation.
Min Min (Li Lieh) runs a juice stall in Taipeis Yongle Market. Her husband Bin (Kenny Bee) runs a small printing business in the neighborhood. Their daughter Hsiao Lan (Gina Lee) is dating a bad boy-type that keeps her out late at night, & their youngest son Hsiao Yang is helping his best friend get a date with a local caf girl. One day, neighborhood girl Hsiao Li (Sonia Sui) returns home & announces her engagement to a bookseller. However, Hsiao Li is getting cold feet about the marriage & starts spending time with Bin. Meanwhile, Min Min also finds herself growing closer to Hsiang (Umin Boya), the friendly owner of a dress-making shop in the market.
