Family is the ones we love. But even if you love your partner, son and sick grandmother, one tragic event is enough to become a mere tenant in your own house full of memories. Still, memories are the only thing no court can take from you. This empathetic, romantic drama and three-time winner of Taiwan's national Golden Horse awards reveals the devastating consequences of social prejudice and discriminatory legislation.

A Taiwanese director, screenwriter, actor and producer, he began shooting experimental 8mm films while studying economics. His feature debut, Do Over (2006), was screened at the Venice IFF.
