A Time in Quchi (2013): Cast & Plot

Kuan Hsiao-Pao, Yang Liang-Yu, is a ten-year-old boy who kick-starts his summer with a mix of swagger and restlessness. Growing up amid the hustle of Taipei, he grapples with a sense of neglect from his parents, a dull school routine, an irritating younger sister, and peers who seem almost unreachable, all while staring down the looming challenge of his summer homework. When tragedy and upheaval strike—the passing of his grandmother and his parents’ divorce, compounded by their busy schedules—his father sends Hsiao-Pao and his sister to the countryside to spend the summer with their grandfather in Quchi, Xindian.
