Screening |\u00a0GAGA<\/em>\u00a0(Laha Mebow<\/span><\/span>, 2022) | 111 min<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trailer: https:\/\/youtu.be\/WlAtj9onzcU<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2605\u00a0GAGA<\/em>\u00a0is a heartwarming story at the joint effort of\u00a0Do You Love Me As I Love You<\/em>\u00a0producer Eric Liang,\u00a0Your Name Engraved Herein<\/em>\u00a0producer Arthur Chu, and the Taipei Film Awards Best Director winner Laha Mebow (for\u00a0Lokah Laqi<\/em>).<\/p>\n

\u2605 Every family has its own issues.\u00a0GAGA<\/em>\u00a0portrays the new generation\u2019s connections and complexes to families and lands in a unique way. It\u2019s the most touching and beautiful movie in 2022.<\/p>\n

At the end of September, the mist surrounds a mountain tribe. The smoke from the firewood shed signals the start of a day for Hayung\u2019s big Atayal family of three generations.<\/p>\n

Grandpa Hayung (Wilang Noming) follows the Atayal tradition,\u00a0GAGA<\/em>, all his life that younger generations no longer value. He can only try to teach his grandson Enoch (Yukan Losing).<\/p>\n

Hayung\u2019s land has been encroached by Mayor Toli\u2019s family and his powerless family is furious. After the lost cause, Hayung\u2019s oldest son Pasang (Wilang Lain) hopes to improve their status by winning mayorship. Meanwhile, Pasang does not get along with his daughter Ali (Ali Batu) who recently returned from New Zealand. Since her mother passed away, there always seems to be an invisible wall in between them.<\/p>\n

After grandpa Hayung\u2019s sudden passing this fall, the tribe has encountered a fog that won\u2019t lift, just like this family\u2019s uncertain future is haunting them.<\/p>\n

After Hayung\u2019s passing, Pasang decides to run for mayorship. His brother Silan (Gaki Baunay) tries to help, but Silan ends up in fights with his wife Yuli (Esther Huang). Their mother (Kagaw Piling) goes from being strong against it to making a crazy move, all for the sake of the campaign…<\/p>\n

*GAGA<\/em>\u00a0is in\u00a0Tayal and Mandarin, with English subtitles.<\/p>\n
