Between Farewells and New Beginnings (2024)

Over twenty years ago, Yao moved to Taiwan from China through marriage and settled in a single veterans' dormitory called "Da Wo Xin She." Now a widow, her days pass slowly, balancing between caring for the veterans and working odd jobs. Looking back on her relationship with her parents, Yao gradually came to understand what had brought her to this point and made her who she is today. With the dormitory’s impending demolition, Yao’s uncertain journey of displacement is about to begin once again.
