Family Matters

我家的事

The day 18-year-old Spring discovers she's adopted, her working-class Taiwan family's long-held secrets begin to surface. Director Pan Ke-Yin's compelling feature debut spans four time periods and seasons, revealing how her father's mounting gambling debts, her mother's heartbreaking fertility struggles and a decision involving a sperm donor, and her brother's search for identity all connect across 24 years, threatening to unravel the only family she's ever known. Shot in the director's hometown of Changhua County, this intimate multi-generational drama made history at the 2025 Osaka Asian Film Festival where all four lead actors won simultaneously—a first in 20 years. Expanding his acclaimed short film My Sister, Pan crafts an emotionally resonant portrait of how families navigate love, secrets, and difficult choices. Some truths can only survive in silence—until they can't.
