On Liang's 18th birthday, she is unable to celebrate with her boyfriend because she has to babysit her irresponsible brother's baby. Refusing to lose her adolescence through a responsibility that shouldn't be hers, Liang sets out on a “mission to reclaim youth” as she tries to return this crying bundle of joy to her brother.
The director tells an unconventional coming-of-age story with a unique feminine perspective. Through a teenage girl's day-long journey with a baby, we follow a teenager who is left without choice and can only resort to her instincts to set things right when her family mistreat her. The film's comic moments are richly-flavored with Taiwanese local culture and campy humor, such as a granny sitting at a breakfast table who can only eat when someone brings her dentures. At the same time, through keen observation, the director vividly and earnestly portrays her characters.
Born in 1985, LEE graduated from the Master's Program of Applied Media Arts at National Taiwan University of Arts. She won a Golden Bell Award for Best Film Editing, and a Golden Horse Award for Best Short Feature Film with Babes' Not Alone. She is now an independent feature film and documentary filmmaker.
