Introduction

Mr. Lu, a Taiwanese food delivery worker, awaits a longed-for reunion with his wife and young daughter. Despite his best efforts to secure financial stability, fortune has not been on his side. Chang Chen’s soulful performance anchors this tender tale, alongside newcomer Carabelle Manna Wei, whose empathetic charm shines throughout. A reflection on longing and the pursuit of happiness, Choi’s lens captures the fragile shimmer of a dream bathed in fleeting sunlight.
