2024 Taipei Film Festival
A woman can be a wife, a daughter-in-law, a mother, but rarely herself.
Wen-Yi quits her job and moves with her husband to his rural hometown to care for his ailing mother. Though her mother-in-law means well, Wen-Yi struggles under the weight of traditional norms and cultural gaps.In a caged hen awaiting slaughter, she sees a reflection of her own confinement.
The director spotlights the roles of women in multi-generational households, while rising actress Chen You-Hsuan delivers a nuanced performance that captures the quiet fear and uncertainty of losing oneself in marriage.
