So Yo-hen’s feature debut evokes his earlier short films, which explored themes of migration, labor, given conditions and variables, and the fluid boundary between reality and fiction. The beautiful park at night serves as a place where two people read poetry, a film set, and a walkway for sharing daily life. It functions as a broadcasting station for migrants and a romantic space for young people. Once a symbol of the great Japanese Empire, then renamed Zhongshan Park after Sun Yat-sen, and later changed to Tainan Park, the park—open to all—can become anything. The film rarely leaves this place but evokes other worlds beyond it, floating continuously between documentary and fiction, captivating its viewers.
