Si-Inreshan

Synopsis

Si-inreshan is a seven-year-old girl from the Dawu Tribe on the Island of Lanyu. She lives with her grandmother and does not speak the common language as used in school. Day in day out, she follows only her instincts: sleeping till she wakes naturally, walking out of the classroom if she is bored, and going directly for a swim if she is hot. In light of civilizations constant progress and the traditions of her tribe, we begin to wonder, what kind of difficulties is she likely to encounter in the process of her growing up?
