I saw this film accidentally at a film festival in Prague. Later on, I kept using this films as a audiovisual materials in my class. I really like this film. It's simple but very thought-provoking. The audience must have some background knowledge of Taiwan in order to enjoy more of the film. A innocently mischievous idea by the students entails with Taiwanese social phenomena and political ideals from the history. A light comedy carries the heaviness from the history and the society.
6.0Plot summary

Wow, somebody is trying to tank this film
Clearly somebody is screwing around with the rating here. This is no masterpiece, but it's definitely not a 3 star film. It's a solid, decent coming-of-age drama. I'm curious who is out to tank the rating.
