SHEN HAI
Blue Cha Cha
Cheng Wen-tang

A-Yu, a woman just released from prison, has an isolated ego. She fell in love with two different men. However, the love faded so soon. A-Yu, with the injured soul, returns to her close-friend Ann. They were in the same jail. As the true sisterhood, Ann takes care of A-Yu and comforts her tormented soul with warmth and generosity. One day during a puppet show an autistic fisherman with puppets in his hands makes A-Yu burst into a bright smile unseen for long time … “Hard to be discovered, there is an emotion so light as a feather, but deeper than a ocean, tasteless as the air, but wider than the ocean, it transcends sex, race, class. But it is only noticed when you are willing to open your mind and take a glance at it”.
