GAGA

Set in a tribal village, GAGA portrays the story of Hayung's family and their struggles after their homeland has been occupied. The narrative unfolds during the autumn-winter season, highlighting the impact of an election campaign on familial relationships and the preservation of cultural traditions. As the eldest son Pasang engages in political pursuits, the family faces disintegration, mirroring the challenges faced by many indigenous families.

The film also emphasizes the significance of the 80-year-old man who devoted his life to worshipping GAGA, representing a connection to the past that is often lost in modern society. The story culminates in a poignant turn, as the village experiences snow for the first time in years, symbolizing both despair and renewal. GAGA offers a thoughtful reflection on family, heritage, and the resilience of indigenous cultures in Taiwan.
