Directed, written, and produced by Shih-Ching Tsou, with Sean Baker as co-writer, producer, and editor, the film features standout performances by Janel Tsai, Shih-Yuan Ma, Nina Ye, Brando Huang, Akio Chen, and Xin-Yan Chao.
The film is set against the bustling backdrop of Taipei's night markets and portrays a multi-generational story spanning three generations of women. The narrative follows a single mother who relocates to Taipei with her two daughters, establishing a night market stall to make ends meet.
As the family navigates the challenges of an unfamiliar city and a new life, the three women struggle with real-world pressures while finding a sense of belonging and strengthening family bonds through their mutual dependence.
Celebrating the positive response, a Netflix spokesperson said, “After its warm reception at IFFI, we're excited for audiences around the world to experience this moving Taiwanese drama when it streams on Netflix from November 28, 2025.”
