PLAY TRAILER

Chinese (Thai & English Subs) A group of Taiwanese leprosy patients have been segregated for their entire lives on the urban fringe of Taipei, Taiwan. These aged patients have built their lives in this island-like leper colony. 20 years ago the Taiwanese government forced open the gates of their community and began to destroy their land for economic development. Facing relocation and the erasure of their history by authorities, they have been engaged in a struggle to preserve their way of life and their very existence up till now. These patients have been deeply rooted within the island; so strong is it that they have become one with the island themselves. When the winds blow, no one catches the wind, but the trees can, the island can. ***Loyalty cards (10 Points for Free Voucher) and complimentary vouchers cannot be used for this movie.***
