About The Play on the Roof
Lin and Xu lived together in a rooftop addition in Taipei, supporting each other's dreams along the way. Now, Xu has decided to move out of the rooftop addition, while Lin chooses to stay in Taipei and continue pursuing her dreams. The red sofa left behind by the moving company opens up an opportunity for the two. They must now confront the ambiguous relationship they never openly discussed and figure out how to face the separation.
Directed by Hou Ko-Wen, The Play on the Roof leans on a strong ensemble — Daphne Jen, Chan Po-chen — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2024.
