Plot/Sypnosis:
In the Wulu village of the indigenous Bunun people deep in the mountains of southeastern Taiwan, a visiting Han Chinese director poses a question: “Even this unique culture will disappear sooner or later, don’t you think?” The village used to be isolated by the mountains, but since a new road opened to traffic and exposed them to the outside world, the villagers have become concerned about passing on the Bunun language, music and weaving in order to protect their traditional culture. The film points out the dilemmas of modern society lurking behind this seemingly pastoral existence, and listens to the voices of the people in the village. Painstakingly shot on 16mm with music throughout, it’s a breath of fresh air.
