The film documents how three terminal patients, Guan Wei, Yao Hua, and Yu Shan, face every moment of death before they die. When Guan Wei was told that he only had one month, he was distressed by the prospect of not being able to see his elementary-school-aged twin sons You You and Ting Ting grow up. Another patient, Yao Hua, yearned to pass away peacefully in her own home, but also had to face the tensions among her family members in the final weeks of her life. The third patient, Yu Shan, was diagnosed with terminal illness when she returned to Taiwan after working overseas for a long time. Yu Shan feared not being able to see her young daughter for a final time before passing away…
REVIEW delicately presents these three terminal patients with their different attachments and sentiments towards life. Their life stories show us the difficulty in letting go of life and facing death, as well as the courage they built up through the process of spiritual care.
关于导演 DIRECTOR’S BIO
导演陳志漢相信影像是改变世界的最好方式，喜欢观察人在社会现象中所产生的变化，提出自己的观察。期望能以纪录片达成人与社会对话的媒介，创作出对社会大众有正面意义的影像作品。作品多以生命议题为主，巡回放映及讲座超过百场，希望能唤起社会大众对于生命的重视。
Despite the fact that most of the documentaries are narrations related to death, film director Maso Chen is very passionate about life. The purpose of the documentaries is not to act as a solution to social issues but to bring the respective matters into focus, serving as a catalyst to initiate conversations and discussions so the audience may find their unique ways of co-existing with society through the process.
