Synopsis

Scottish photographer John Thomson's trip to Taiwan in 1871 left an important mark in the history. This film reinterprets the event via a photo of a hunter, taking the audience to the Siraya tribe to meet WAN, a tribe elder who knows how to sing and talk. Through his intriguing words and songs, WAN leads us back to the past as he plucks the strings.
