Nostalgia

A young traveler leaves the chaos of city life behind and escapes to the cloud-draped slopes of Taiwan’s highlands. Her chance encounter with a kind rice farmer unveils a slower, more connected way of living. Set amidst the mystical beauty of the region, this film offers an intimate look into the culture and traditions of rice farming, framed by the serene allure of Alishan.
