(MU) Tosa la ola taiwanesa siempre la encontré magnificada, pero hay delicadeza, sutileza en este Hou autobiográfico donde un texto del padre muerto rescatado por la madre muerta da una clave fundamental, buenos planos de conjunto con distintos términos, escena que luego adquieren relieve (el intento de 'viaje al continente' con la abula y las guayabas...)
