Short Film
Darling
Mei-Hui hat ihre dunkle Vergangenheit hinter sich gelassen und endlich Frieden durch ihren Glauben gefunden.
Doch heute Nacht passiert das Unvorstellbare:
Das Böse schlüpft an allen Göttern vorbei und spielt grausam mit ihrer Angst.
Dieser Film basiert auf einer wahren Geschichte.
Eine junge Frau, die in ihrer Ehe gemeinsam mit ihren Kindern unter häuslicher Gewalt litt, brachte ihren Mann aus Verzweiflung um.
Der Fall erregte großes Aufsehen in ganz Taiwan und führte zur Einführung des Gesetzes gegen häusliche Gewalt, das am 26. Juni 1998 in Kraft trat. Taiwan wurde damit das erste asiatische Land mit einem Schutzordnungssystem.
