About the film: First Yue finds that her idealistic brother has been executed. Now she’s tasked with trekking to Taipei to collect his body – a task more treacherous and expensive than imagined, setting off a heart-stirring, fairy-tale adventure of determination, guile, and coming-of-age in a repressive society.
