Synopsis
Based on the historical fact that Tokyo once controlled the northern tip of Taiwan, a drama unfolds about a man caught between a generational conflict with his mining-town peers, who hold none-too-secret affections for Japanese language and culture, and his son who was raised during the time of post-war, anti-Japan fervor.
