LEFT-HANDED GIRL

Left-Handed Girl is a deeply personal and universally resonant story, capturing the struggles of identity, family expectations, and silent rebellion within the colorful world of Taipei’s night market and betelnut stand. The film blends authentic cultural observation with a powerful emotional core, offering a rare, female-centered perspective that speaks across borders.

A single mother and her two daughters return to Taipei after several years of living in the countryside to open a stand at a buzzing night market. Each, in their own way, will have to adapt to this new environment to make ends meet and succeed in maintaining the family unity. Three generations of family secrets begin to unravel after the youngest daughter, who is left-handed, is told by her traditional grandfather to never use her “devil hand”.
