Hard Good Life
黑晝記
This film is a visual journal on fear and courage, loss and gain, and illness and healing in life. It is also a conversation between daughter and father, as well as a reflective monologue on the memory of hope and sorrow. After her father got cancer, the director learned to use the camera to record her father’s struggle. They went through all kinds of treatment together. This unbreakable connection supported them to the very last moment … and never fade away.
