Where is that place of one’s own?

In your successes? In your beliefs? In your possessions? In the minds of your loved ones? …or just six feet under?

《A Place of One’s Own》 is a film about the conflicted lives of those who seeks a place within society, and their attempts to answer the unanswerable……

In the end, in life or death, we are all fighting for a place of one’s own.

Love and dreams are both amazing things that you don’t need to hear, neither listen, nor have them translated in order to feel them.

Tian Kuo is a lunch-box delivery boy who works for his parents. Yang Yang, whose hearing-impaired older sister, Xiao Peng is training to swim in the Deaflympics, catches Tian Kuo’s eye when he makes his deliveries to the pool one day. From that moment onwards, he can’t take his eyes off her.

Their story is one that is told through sign language. There are no conventional conversations or flirting, no corny pick-up lines, and no sensual whispering. Tian Kuo’s pursuit of Yang Yang’s love takes place in silence, between dramatic hand-signs and emotions expressed purely through facial expressions. Yang Yang and Xiao Peng also have their own problems trying to make ends meet while maintaining Xiao Peng’s rigorous training schedule.

The many challenges in the nature of the dialogue in much of this film, paired with the likeable and sometimes quirky personalities of the protagonists, culminate in an unusual but ultimately heart-warming story about love and overcoming diversity.

Length: 110 minutes
Director: Fen-Fen Cheng
Cast: Eddie Peng, Ivy Chen, Michelle Chen, Lin Mei Xiu, Luo Bei An

About Director
With a background in TV commercials, director Fen-Fen Cheng moves on to the big screen after her production of the Public Television Service Network’s “Life Story” program won Taiwan’s Golden Bell Award. She is known for writing scripts to the lyrical prose style and is an expert in expressing simple feelings in daily life using a “picture book” styled presentation. As one of the most poetic emerging female directors in Taiwan, Cheng tries to discuss the topics of social alienation and human warmth in our modern society through films.

Other than the silhouette of his silent back as you walk behind him, what else can you remember about your father?

Fatherly love is perhaps one of the most difficult to express in words—genuine but distant, subtle but deep; beneath that unrelenting tough image of the father often hides an emotion warm and affectionate.

Featuring ten stories of ten fathers from all walks of life,《How Are You, Dad?》shines light on this intimate but much unmentioned love. Whether they are dangerous gangsters, poor villagers that could not afford their children’s medical expenses, or a famous celebrities with soaring careers but a broken family, they all share one common role—they are all fathers, and they all love in different ways.

At the end of the film, you may find your deepest memories resonating and converging into a single simple but genuine calling: “How are you, Dad?”
