Synopsis
On Orchid Island, also known as Lanyu, a nurse confronts the traditional beliefs of the Tao people, who view illness as a sign of supernatural possession. In 1997, she launched a program to recruit around 40 volunteers to provide care for homebound elderly patients. This initiative faced significant social pressure, as many patients remained isolated and unable to access medical care. The film captures the tension between traditional values and the need for compassion in healthcare.
