People in the Old House

Synopsis

In the town of Lukang, a group of young cultural preservation enthusiasts are anxious about the urban renewal plans to widen old roads. When the municipal office authorized the demolition of the historical shop ”Re Mau Hang”, a symbol of the town’s brightest era, they jumped out in protest. The conflict between the city’s plan for major development, and the preservation of cultural assets have attracted the full attention and vigilance of these young preservation artists.
