A husband earning good money as a senior manager for a good company. A daughter who has grown up beautifully. A son who is about to get married. A healthy puppy. A neatly organized and spacious home. Everything around Mrs. Yan looks perfect, but her mind is as confused and complex as the variety of medications she is taking. To reach peace of body and mind, she tries many methods including qi training, but to no avail. One day she gets a message that the woman who had an affair with her husband is in a nursing home and suffering from dementia. Could it be the moment of revenge for her husband′s affair, which had tormented her for years? She asks her husband to go to the nursing home together. After a long career as a cinematographer, Taiwanese director Chienn Hsiang realistically portrayed the life of a middle-aged woman with his directorial debut Exit (2014). This same perspective guides his latest feature, Increasing Echo. The film portrays a middle-aged woman’s psychology as a bird that could fly in the sky but is trapped in a cage. (PARK Sungho)
