Synopsis
Adapted from an aboriginal award short story of Taiwan Literature Awards, written by Tomas.
Within a rainy night in the national forest mountain, an unexpected sound of the gunshot destroys the tranquility. In a series of uncanny processes, two Taiwanese indigenous hunters Walis and Batu, and one wounded logger, raise the crisis of the senses of domain dependency and self-identity to indigenous peoples of Taiwan.
