DA RA SONG

Darasong’s echoing footsteps, “Da Ra Da Ra,” resound through the land.
In a homeland that forgets, he builds slate by slate—to become the man his tribe remembers.

Darasong, a Rukai person, tirelessly gathers stones to build a traditional slate house. However, the construction of a slate house is not considered within the regulations of modern Taiwan, and even his own tribe no longer retains these skills. Elders praise it, peers revere it from afar, the tourists ask if they could pick a stone to take home. Completing the house is the path to becoming a real man. Can he achieve his dream and prove his strength?
