\u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how you see yourself. What others think of you is what matters most.\u201d

Set some time before Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage in 2019, we watch the life of Shu-yi, the wife of a homophobic careerist doctor blind to his family\u2019s needs, and the mother of loyal two sons who glimpse her pain. She tries to play perfect matriarch in public view but she watches with worry as her eldest son, university student Han, rebels against following in his father\u2019s footsteps and studying medicine. She is also increasingly unable to turn a blind eye to her own unhappiness, the reason for which comes fully into view when Han gets involved with Xue-jin, an optician, an amateur photographer, and Shu-yi\u2019s girlfriend from her university days\u2026

Director Julian CHOU\u2019s exquisite eye for framing the architecture and her cast bolster an intellectually intriguing forensic examination of the constriction of social roles and the fear of people\u2019s perceptions, as explored with the metaphor of sight and characters blind to the emotions of others and themselves.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n
