GIRL

In her debut behind the camera, Shu Qi unveils a delicate portrait of generational trauma and resilience.

Taiwan, 1988. Hsiao-lee, a quiet and withdrawn girl, grows up in silent gloom. Her encounter with Li-li, vibrant and carefree, reawakens long-buried dreams. But just as she begins to open up to the world, her mother Chuan’s past resurfaces, echoing her own pain. Caught between inherited sorrow and a longing for freedom, Hsiao-lee must navigate the shadows of a life she never chose.
