Spoilers ahead
Yi-Che, Yi-Che Tseng, stands at the center of a quiet, windswept life in the harbor town of Nanfang’ao, a picturesque fishing port that doubles as a living canvas for the film’s themes of beauty and struggle. The town feels intimate and real, a place where people rely on the sea and on each other, and where memories cling to every dock and alleyway. The story unfolds against his mixed heritage: his mother comes from the Indigenous community on Orchid Island (Lanyu), while his father has embraced Japanese culture, painting Yi-Che’s world with overlapping identities that mirror Taiwan’s broader cultural mosaic.
