Sylvia Chang : 2015
Murmur of the Hearts

Siblings Yu-mei and Yu-nan were born on Lyudao, a small volcanic island off the east coast of Taiwan. As children they grew up listening to fairy tales about mermaids told by their mother. Yu-nan became a tour guide, whilst his sister Yu-mei left the island for Taipei to become a painter and the two drifted apart. Yu-mei falls for an under-achieving boxer and begins years of soul searching in the city, where the siblings reunite under unexpected circumstances. What was remembered and forgotten are lessons that have profound consequences. An emotional drama about growing up, personal regrets and invoking the buried love that eventually helps them make peace with the past and move on. Sylvia Chang's feature premiered at Hong Kong International Film Festival 2015.
