So Yo Hen Taiwan 2024 101 min PG13 (Smoking Scenes)
Two Indonesian migrants meet by night in Tainan Park to share poems and tales in this enchanting, formally inventive film.
In the nighttime setting of Tainan Park, two Indonesian men meet to share their poetry and tell stories about their lives and the experiences of others they meet. Their presence represents the reliance of Taiwan on migrant workers from Southeast Asia. At the same time, their creative activities reflect the rich and multicultural history of Tainan, the oldest city in Taiwan.
As the film unfolds, park infrastructure such as a guard house and broadcast systems amplify the scope and scale of their tales. A gentle and magical film that gradually reveals its unexpected narrative approaches, Taman-Taman suggests how to imaginatively understand and represent the existences of oneself and others.
