This short film centers on an overlooked figure erased from historical records and misunderstood by his own people, uncovering the hidden truth of the past by retracing his untold story.
這部短片以被史料抹去、被族人誤解的無名者為核心，透過追問他的真實經歷，揭開被隱藏的歷史真相。

In 1877, Qing troops invaded the Amis communities in the Cepo’ region. Amid the chaos of war, Kacaw witnessed the siblings Sawmah and Nakaw lose their loved ones, while the Amis people were forced to abandon their homeland. Their chief, Mayaw, led them over mountains and valleys in a desperate flight northward to Cilangasan. Struggling with hunger and cold, Kacaw felt deep guilt toward the orphaned siblings while also worrying about Usay and her unborn child. Hoping to find a way out, he tried to persuade Mayaw to accept the Qing soldiers’ promises. Torn with doubt, Mayaw faced despair: their home was gone, and their food supplies had run out. With no other choice, he placed his trust in the Qing troops and went down the mountain to collect rice. Would the Qing soldiers keep their word and allow the Amis people to return to their homeland? Or were they hiding darker intentions?
西元1877年，清軍入侵Cepo’地區的阿美族部落。戰火中，Kacaw目睹Sawmah和Nakaw兩兄妹痛失至親，族人們被迫離開家園，頭目Mayaw帶領大家翻山越嶺地逃往北方的奇拉雅山。在飢寒交迫的困境中，Kacaw試圖說服頭目接受清兵的承諾。而內心掙扎的Mayaw，只能選擇相信清兵，下山搬運米糧。清兵會信守承諾讓族人們重返故土，還是另有所圖呢？
