“The Island That All Flow By” is a television film that was released in 2016. It perfectly combines social issues, teenager problems and characters’ personal struggles. It’s a great work that makes audiences feel the cruelty of this society, but also the warmth of the people.
The story is about Chia-Wen, whose son is accused of having sex with a girl under 16 years old. She needs to pay huge amounts of money since the girl’s father files a lawsuit. As a highway toll collector in Taiwan, she has no economic ability to pay. So she starts to get close to a truck driver named Chih-Hao, who admired her for a long time. Even though she doesn’t like him at first, she slowly enjoys the time they spend together. However, as her job is about to be laid off, everything she has, seems to come to a crucial point to crumble.
