[Machine Translation] Director Hou Hsiao-hsien is the standard-bearer of the Taiwanese New Cinema, which has greatly influenced contemporary Japanese filmmakers. This early masterpiece of Hou's poetic sentiment captures with a serene gaze a summer spent by a boy and a girl. Dongdong and Tingting, two siblings living in Taipei, arrive in the countryside where their grandparents live after their mother is hospitalized. Dongdong quickly becomes friendly with the neighborhood children of his generation and spends his days playing and enjoying himself. Meanwhile, Tin-Tin meets and interacts with a young woman named Kanko. Their summer days pass quietly, as they listen to the conversations of the adults around them, amidst a landscape bathed in sunlight.
