Left-Handed Girl
In the film, Shu-Fen returns with her daughters to bustling Taipei after years in the countryside, where family secrets, superstitions, and the challenges of growing up set three generations of women in motion.
Left-Handed Girl is a tender and visually enchanting look at mothers, daughters, and the chaos of city life.
After years in the countryside, single mother Shu-Fen and her two daughters, rebellious teenager I-Ann and imaginative five-year-old I-Jing, return to Taipei. The city is loud, bright, and unforgiving. While Shu-Fen spends her days behind a food stall and her nights worrying about her ex-wife's debts, I-Ann tries to assert her independence but loses herself to the city's temptations. And when left-handed I-Jing is forced by her traditional grandfather to never use her "devil's hand" again, three generations of family secrets suddenly begin to unravel.
Director Shih-Ching Tsou, Sean Baker's longtime creative partner, makes Taipei pulsate like a living organism: vibrant with neon, longing, and sorrow. Left-Handed Girl captures the beauty of failure, the pain of growing up, and the tender chaos of mothers and daughters who can't let go of each other, and precisely because of that, can't lose each other.
