Native Spirit Festival is dedicated to showcasing indigenous culture in the arts. Director Su Hung-En is born to mixed indigenous/Taiwanese parents, and his debut feature tackles issues about indigenous people and social problems.

“Lin Hsiang and Lin Cheng are brothers, whose lives are completed changed by an accident that took place in the mountains. Lin Cheng goes to prison for killing their father while Lin Hsiang successfully becomes a licensed doctor and serves their village. Several years later, Lin Cheng is released from jail, and his appearance turns Lin Hsiang’s ordered life upside down. Lin Cheng wants to go back to the forest, where the accident occurred, but Lin Hsiang is considering conceding the forest to mining companies.

Their conflict escalates. Meanwhile, Lin Hsiang’s wife, Yi Wen, discovers that her husband was the actual killer, but Lin Cheng became the scapegoat for his brother’s crime at their uncle’s insistent. Yi Wen realizes her husband is not as perfect as she thought, and Lin Cheng is not as rough as he seems. In the end, the two brothers return to the forest to resolve their conflicts regarding the land, their father, and Lin Cheng’s time in prison, hoping for a better outcome. Can they find their lost brotherhood in this land of origins?”

Hope to see you there!
