THE SONGS FROM WITHIN

When the world is silent, I can only sing and dance with myself

Mufan and Chen Wei are two young aboriginal gender-fluids living in a small mountain village of the Paiwan tribe in southern Taiwan. Striving to be themselves, they face a conservative and catholic culture imposed on their tribe by Western missionaries that turned them into taboos. As everyone avoids them, they become to each other the only way of understanding the world around them and the only reason to stay alive.
