Overview

• Shown hors compétition at the Festival du cinéma américain de Deauville, the debut was singled out as the edition’s coup de cœur.
• The film will represent Taiwan in the 2026 Academy Awards race for Best International Feature Film.
• Set in Taipei, the story follows a single mother and her two daughters running a night‑market food stall, told largely from a child’s perspective.
• Tsou, a New York–based director originally from Taiwan, shot the largely autobiographical feature on an iPhone to heighten sensory immediacy and authenticity.
• Nina Ye, Janel Tsai and Shi‑Yuan Ma star in the 1 hour 48 minute family dramedy, while Deauville’s Grand Prix went to Charlie Polinger’s The Plague.
