An elegant eighty-year-old lady is reading news paper articles on a computer monitor. She tells us about the springtime of her life when she was in her twenties in a calm voice and shows us around the spaces of Taiwan of those days. However, her memories and experiences of Taiwan′s history are harsh and bleak. The Japanese occupation, "the White Terror" of the Taiwanese by the main land Chinese in 1950s ,the labor movement and 15 years of imprisonment filled the spring time of her life. She was adopted because of poverty and worked for a labor union as a post-office worker, which led to her imprisonment on an isolated island. The director Tseng Wen-chen revives the spring time of her life that is colder and bleaker than any winter in her documentary, mixing various representational modes-animation, stage play, and songs of spring. It is as lyrical and touching as the voice of Hsu Chin-Yu. (Michelle Sohn)
