Cheng Wentang /Taiwan-Hong Kong / 2008 / 99 min
Themes: coming of age, dating, non conformity, personal growth, life in Taiwan
Yvette is a fainthearted singer and songwriter whose poetic soul makes her the apple of her mother's eye and popular at school. While performing at a school concert, Yvette collapses and is sent to the hospital. Reviving with best friend Wendy by her side, she notices the arrival of fellow student Jimmy and schoolteacher Miss Xiu. The attractive teacher has to end her affair with Jimmy or lose her job. Miss Xiu is prepared to move on, but the smitten schoolboy is going through the emotional roller coaster. All this makes Jimmy oblivious to the interest of girls his own age. Wendy is attracted to the love struck boy, but will clearly go with soccer-obsessed Japanese exchange student Akira if he makes the first move. Good times and bad times pass with lackadaisical charm in this upbeat portrayal of young adults resisting conformity while seeking a place in society.
In Mandarin, with English subtitles.

Testimonials
Lauren Selden, Grade 11
“The films I got to see were original, funny, touching, and inspirational, and best of all, they are not the type of things that you can go to see in a theatre... Being on the youth jury really opened my eyes up to a whole new world of information, of culture, and of art. It has been an amazing experience.” – Lauren Selden, Grade 11
