If a family is bonded by blood, then what keeps a family together? Director Pan Ke-Yin attempts to answer this question with a portrait of a complicated family that has more than a few skeletons in its closet. Expanded from his Golden Horse-nominated short, Pan’s ambitious feature debut explores a decade in the life of the Hsiao family with a complex non-linear episodic structure. Covering the perspectives of the family members at different points in time, each episode provides a piece of the puzzle that will eventually reveal the surprising answer to what has kept this particular family together over the years.
