| This film follows four Indonesian female caregivers from different generations who have worked in Taiwan for nearly a decade. On weekdays, they care for the elderly or children in their employers' homes; on their days off, they meet friends in the main hall of Taipei Main Station, sitting on the floor to chat, celebrate birthdays, and enjoy food from their homeland. The main hall of Taipei Main Station serves as a grand living room where Indonesian migrant workers gather during their time off. The plaza outside the station was once a gathering place for Indonesian Muslims to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, where thousands of Indonesians would congregate, forming a unique cultural landscape within Taipei City.
Among the four migrant women in the film, Tantri uses mobile live-streaming to help fellow Indonesian workers handle various matters; Umi enjoys writing poetry and taking photographs; Pindy creates with paper clay, sculpting traditional Indonesian culture; and Yusni speaks and writes fluent Chinese. In the "grand living room" of Taipei Main Station, they shed their identities as caregivers to fully express themselves, transforming into talented women. Their stories also spark deeper reflections on issues surrounding transnational female migrant workers. Trailer: https://youtu.be/ECvCbl0VKlE?si=X4MQVDafYQiG2Tc5 |
