Guo Mie

Guo Mie follows a karaoke-addicted elderly woman, played by Grace Chen Shu-Fang, who lives by the Taiwanese saying, "Guo Mie." Her philosophy faces challenges when she attends her estranged husband's funeral and discovers hidden connections between her family and his younger lover. The narrative delves into the struggles of acceptance and understanding within family dynamics.

The film is notable for featuring Shu-Fang's return to singing in a film after over 40 years. This adds a unique layer to her character and the story, highlighting the importance of personal expression in times of grief. The film was shot in Taiwan and reflects the cultural backdrop that informs its themes.

As a student short film, Guo Mie was recognized at the 2017 Student Academy Awards and screened at the 2018 Asian American International Film Festival. Collectors interested in international dramas or films that explore familial bonds might find this title particularly significant.
