國共內戰末期,國軍節節敗退,連長盛鵬、士兵小范與順子四處逃竄,遇見了遭遺棄的小奉先,三個男人帶著孩子,一路逃亡到了臺灣。命運輾轉,他們在臺北邊緣違章群找到棲身之處,簡陋環境下的艱困生活,伴隨對家鄉的思念牽絆,渴望著此生安身立命。


繼《自由門神》後,王童時隔十三年再執劇情長片作品。兩個世代、橫跨半世紀的光陰,一念之間,海峽天涯,小人物於壯闊時代下的動蕩,如在風中搖曳漂泊,縱使沒有血緣關係,憑藉相互羈絆的情誼落地生根,凝聚成一個個比血親更有意義的家族。


Toward the end of the Chinese Civil War, with the Nationalist army in constant retreat, captain Sheng Peng escapes from the battlefield with subordinates Fan and Shun. The three men rescue an abandoned boy named Feng Hsien, whom they adopt as one of their own before fleeing to Taiwan together. Fate brings them to a dilapidated military dependents' village on the outskirts of Taipei, where they struggle with lives of hardship in crude conditions, homesickness, and a yearning to finally settle down in peace.


This was Wang Toon's first narrative feature in 13 years following 2002's A Way We Go. Two generations spanning half a century; far across the sea in the blink of an eye. In this turbulent era, the lives of the little people swayed and drifted like leaves in the wind. Despite not being biologically related, their deep bonds of friendship allowed them to take root and become a family more meaningful than blood.
