Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Huang shot the original train footage in 1997 as a student, then spent two decades tracking down the accidental subjects through social media and village records.
The film captures Taiwan's rural hollowing-out — young people fled to cities, leaving elders as accidental monuments. That '6.4' rating? Criminal. This won Locarno's Golden Leopard for short film.
