Post-screening Q&A with the writer of the original novel & screenplay.

出生於望族的秀琴，與丈夫李世俊育有一子一女，未料，李世俊生性揮霍，不但讓家庭經濟陷入困頓，還在外與他人妻女通姦。事跡敗露後，秀琴一家只能變賣家產，移居臺北避禍。秀琴的女兒阿惠從小勤奮好學，卻夾在日漸專橫的母親，與軟弱無能的父親之間，飽受重男輕女的觀念所苦。隨著年紀增長，阿惠獨立自主的意識也連帶萌芽，與母親之間之矛盾因此日益加劇。在母女衝突的張力逐漸升高之際，也像是回頭叩問那句傳統社會俗諺：女人的命運，是否只能像油麻菜籽，隨風飄蕩、不能自主？

Born into a wealthy family, Hsiu-chin lives with her husband, Li Shih-chun, and their two young children, a son and a daughter. Shih-chun’s reckless behavior eventually plunges the family into economic hardship, and when his affair with a married woman is exposed, they are forced to sell off their valuables and flee to Taipei. Hsiu-chin’s daughter, Ah Fei, is hardworking and studious, but finds herself caught between her increasingly controlling mother and her weak and useless father, while also having to endure their unfair cultural favoring of boys over girls. As she grows older, Ah Fei begins to develop her own sense of independence and self-autonomy, causing the conflicts with her mother to intensify. In this traditional society, the rising tension between mother and daughter evokes an old saying: “Women are like rapeseeds drifting in the wind, unable to control their own destiny.”
