About Towards the Sun
A man who lost his house in a foreclosure sale is forced to live in his truck. A Vietnamese woman with a flight ticket and few belongings gets on the man’s truck. Sitting on the moving truck with their painful memories, they follow the signs all the way to the North.
Directed by Yi-Ling Wang, Towards the Sun leans on a strong ensemble — Kao Meng-Chieh, Liao Chin-liang, Wu Hung-hsiu — 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 screen titles of 2016.
