Participation Goal

International Distribution

Based on interviews with the director’s grandmother’s children, the film portrays a woman’s resilience in the face of oppression from the unjust traditions of “T’ung-yang-hsi”, reflecting on women’s struggle for freedom.

Eggs are fragile but tough at the same time. My grandmother is an egg.

As a child, the director’s grandma was brought to another family to be raised as a future daughter-in-law, known as the tradition of “T’ung- yang-hsi”. It is a tradition of pre-arranged marriage — she was assigned to do all the household chores and was not allowed to receive higher education. The film portrays a woman’s resilience in the face of oppression, reflecting on the situation of women stuck in unjust traditions and their struggle for freedom.
