DAUGHTER’S DAUGHTER 女兒的女兒

DIRECTOR HUANG XI 黄熙

Directed by Huang Xi 黄熙, the film has an impeccable pedigree flowing from its executive producers Hou Hsiao-hsien 侯孝賢 and Sylvia Chang 張艾嘉. Taiwan industry icon, Chang also stars in the picture, alongside Karena Lam 林嘉欣 and Eugenie Liu 劉奕兒. Premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024.

The film chronicles the journey and the choices made by a 60-year-old woman whose daughter dies in an accident. The older woman discovers that she is responsible for her dead daughter’s IVF embryo and decides to confront the other daughter she had as a teenager. While past regrets and future responsibilities collide, the film also probes the complexities of reproduction among the LGBT community.
