About

The story of a family embroiled in the "White Terror," the Kuomintang government's anti-communist political repression that was wrought on the Taiwanese people from 1947-1987.

Instead of loud political shouting matches, this family saga captures historical trauma through quiet glances and the stifling stillness of a changing landscape. It transforms a period of brutal state repression into a deeply intimate study of how silence preserves or destroys a household.
