LOST IN FOREST

Featured and produced by LEE Kang-sheng, Golden Horse Award-winning Best Leading Actor, Lost in Forest was the closing film of both Asian Pop-Up Cinema 2023 and Kaohsiung Film Festival 2022.

Sheng was once a gang member of Zhongshan District and went to jail for 12 years after saving his friend Seagull. Recently released, he returns to Linsen North Road, which used to be his turf, and finds it familiar yet perplexing after being away for years.

Seagull is now a mob boss with his territory, including the area he and Sheng used to fight for. However, the son of Seagull’s patron, Mr. XIAO, has been murdered, and the lead points to Monkey, a rising mobster. Seagull receives a tip-off and sends his team to ambush the suspect at a hotel, but Monkey manages to escape. Driven to insanity by drugs, Monkey fires a shot at Seagull and aims to make a name for himself in Taipei. At first, Sheng is perplexed and refuses to help Seagull. Finally, however, consumed with rage, he decides to avenge his lost friend.
