On Chinese New Year’s Eve, elderly mother, Tsai-feng, seems to be an annoying influence. She is not asked to participate in the New Year cleaning, nor is she allowed in the kitchen. Even when she wants to watch TV with her great-grandsons, they refuse to watch with her. Her youngest son, who has been unemployed for a long time, is the only one who will still chat with her. One drizzly afternoon, Su-hsing and mother take a stroll in the park, a walk that unexpectedly sends mother into a rage.
In a modern, model-like home, an elderly mother feels increasingly useless. Her feelings come to a head on Chinese New Year’s Eve. The mother was at the core of the original work. Given the film’s short duration, WANG uses two key scenes to distil her condition and suffering.
