Overview
In Taiwan’s struggles for housing justice, it is always the women who hold on until the very end, standing guard over the home. For them, it may be their grandfather’s home, their father’s, their husband’s, or the future home of their children—but rarely their own. These women support one another, refusing to yield, and with resilience they resist the state, the law, and powerful corporations under a patriarchal system. Told from a female perspective, this film asks: what does “home” truly mean to them? Why can they endure for so long, refusing to leave? And, at the same time, it confronts another question—where are the men?
