Plot:
A homeless father and his two young children living on the margins of Taipei. The father survives by working as a human billboard, while the children wander the city, attending school sporadically and fending for themselves. Their fragile existence unfolds through long, silent takes that observe hunger, exhaustion, and isolation. As the family drifts through abandoned buildings and urban wastelands, the film becomes a stark meditation on poverty, alienation, and the quiet endurance of human bonds in an indifferent modern city.
