Cheerful Wind + Intro

Directed by Hou Hsiao-hsien

A lighthearted romance, Cheerful Wind is a breezy tale of a love triangle.

Hsing-hui works as an assistant photographer and lives with her partner Lo Zai. Their semi-balanced harmony is threatened when a blind man Chin-tai wanders onto the set of a commercial they are working on. Later, despite her commitments, she strikes up a romance with the blind man while visiting Taipei.

The ultimate question arises: who will she choose?
