Cape No. 7 (海角七號)

In a down-to-earth uniquely Taiwanese style, Director Wei, a former assistant director under the legendary Edward Yang, exquisitely portrayed a hidden love from the 1940’s Japanese-occupied Taiwan. Unable to disclose his affection for a Taiwanese lady prior to returning to Japan, a Japanese teacher revealed his love in 7 unforgettably passionate letters. Although these letters weren’t mailed until some 70 years later, they ignited a series of events and became a catalyst of another inter-cultural love affair.

This is a movie about the unwavering pursuits for music, dream and love. Cape No. 7’ will not only move you with its passion but will also lure you by its lavish presentation of South Taiwan’s breathtaking scenery through its top-notch cinematography.
