This film is dedicated to the house that has anchored a home for my family for over 30 years: Chang Chun, my grandmother's house. Just like the fate of several old buildings in Taipei, she will be demolished by the end of this year. Through interviews, buried memories float up, stories are formed, realities are blent, Chang Chun is brought back to life to her earliest days; perhaps inaccurate, but it's the subjective reality that stayed with us, making it our living truth. Through collaborative family efforts, we explore the discrepancy between each other's memories, the challenges surrounding urban renewal, the concept of ephemerality, and most importantly deeply engraved family experiences and emotions in the house. At the end, the family gives the house their most sincere thanks and wishes to the house that has provided them a home for over 30 years. If this house was a person, this film would be her farewell ceremony that preserves her last visage in this chapter of her life.
