Director Chien-Hung Lien will join us for post-film discussions following our screening on Tuesday, September 23.

The online romance of Hui-Jun with a foreigner ignites gossip in the peaceful rural town where she lives. Hui-Jun is a 38-year-old Taiwanese chicken farmer, living with her brother and teenage niece Xin-Ru. She has been single for a long time until one day, Xin-Ru downloads an online dating app on Hui-Jun’s mobile phone. 

When Hui-Jun develops a digital romance with a French man, her community laughs and calls it a romance scam. To prove Martin’s existence, Hui-Jun, who has never been abroad, decides to leave for Paris to find him.

Please note: There are no Coolidge Member discounts or complimentary tickets for this screening.
