Caring for an autistic adult can be seen as an act of faith. It is unpredictable. A regular interaction can lead to a violent lashing-out. However, due to its lack of exposition and its pure form of observation, the film captures something even more profound: life as a collection of failure, pain, and tragedy as felt by its protagonist, Chen Hung-tung, a father who cares with extraordinary patience for his autistic son Li-fu.—anonymous
Li-fu is a 30-year-old man with autism trapped inside the jumbled confusion of his child-like mind. His life is held together by his father, his only friend, who is forced to play many roles to build a bridge connecting his son to the outside world. Through the banalities of their everyday lives, this film explores a fathers unconditional love for his autistic son, the cruel nature of devotion, and a lifelong sacrifice that can never be abandoned.
