Good Men, Good Women

A movie within a movie with the past and present of actress Liang Ching (Annie Shizuka Inoh) juxtaposing the role she is playing in the "within" movie. Liang in the movie plays Chiang Bi-Yu, an anti-Japanese revolutionary in the 1940s. While doing this role she finds her past crowding into her present as the tendrils of her dead boyfriend creeps back into her life. Aimed at drawing attention to the anti-Japanese movement in Taiwan the film meanders and the three threads barely hold together.
