Between people, between people and the land
Just like this small town in Southern Taiwan,
their lives are being evaluated by the social conventions.
A man chooses to leave the city and goes back to his hometown in the countryside. However, he finds that his dream of being a farmer is shattered as the property developers have flocked into this small town in Southern Taiwan. Consequently, the farmland is taken over by holiday homes and villas, which not only look incongruous in the landscape but have destroyed the serenity. A woman who left home lives in one of the villas. She has been trapped in the house both physically and mentally until she meets the man. Their encounter is about to change everything…
Hakka, a dialect spoken by the Hakka people in Taiwan, is the main language in this film. It originated in Guangdong Province as well as Western and Southern Fujian Province in China. According to a survey carried out in 1993, the dialect is spoken by 2.36 million people and is one of the major languages spoken in Taiwan.
人與人，人與土地
他們的生命如同這座南台灣的小鎮
面臨世俗的評價
從都市選擇回鄉下種田的男子，發現自己想單純做個農夫的夢碎。因土地炒作的狂潮淹進美濃這個南台灣的小鎮，農地被一棟棟突兀的度假別墅佔領，幽靜不再。來自異鄉的女人住在其中一棟別墅裡，內心同樣困頓，直到她與男子相遇，一切有了轉變。
本片主要發音是臺灣客家人使用的客家話，源於中國大陸粵東，及部份閩南、閩西地區。1993年統計約有236.6萬人使用，是臺灣主要語言之一。
