Awake Before Your Gaze
Synopsis
Two mixed-race children of the US military in Taiwan, one speaking Hakka, the other Taiwanese. In the ruins of a former military dormitory, they speak slowly, uncovering a history their faces and languages could never fully inhabit, their memories moving like ghosts along the edges of history.
