Made in Taiwan

About This Movie

So, 'Made in Taiwan' is this really intimate look at a 17-year-old girl, Yi-Chun, navigating her passion for dance and the typical teenage struggles. The pacing feels almost meditative, capturing her ballet rehearsals and the discipline that comes with them. There’s a rawness to her connection with food and body image that's very relatable, especially in a culture that can be quite intense about appearance. The atmosphere is quietly reflective, allowing us to sit with her worries and joys, which feels very personal and real. It's not flashy, just a simple documentary that draws you into her world, making you ponder the balance between ambition and self-acceptance. It's definitely a distinct slice of life from Taiwan.
