LAI Kuo-an’s second feature Melody-Go-Round received four nominations at the 2022 Taipei Film Awards. His debut feature, A Fish Out of Water, had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.

Melody and her parents move into a borrowed mansion, hoping for a fresh start. However, Melody’s struggles have just begun. Her parents have already separated but continue to live together for her sake. Melody is aware of their loveless marriage and fears that they will abandon her.

Inspired by an abandoned amusement park, Melody creates a fantasy world called the Moon Kingdom, where she can escape from reality. But when the Moon Kingdom’s inhabitants kidnap her parents, Melody must decide whether to remain in her illusion or confront the harsh truths of her life.
