π Overview:
For her debut feature Finding Sayun (δΈδΈζ¨£ηζε
), Atayal director Chen Chieh-yao (ι³ζ½η€) returns to her home village to unearth the legend of Sayun (sometimes spelled Sayion), an Atayal girl who fell to her death in a turbulent stream while carrying a Japanese teacherβs belongings at the end of World War II. The movie begins when the tale of Sayun draws a television crew to the Atayal hamlet of Tyohemg (ιε²³) in Nanao Township (εζΎ³), Yilan County. Yukan (Tsao Shih-hui, ζΉδΈθΌ), a high-school boy and a young hunter, does not understand the crew membersβ interest in the story. But his grandfatherβs (Chang Chin-chen, εΌ΅ιζ―) memories of Sayun, whom he went to school with, revives his interest in the old tribal village, which the villagers had been forced to desert 50 years prior.
