Synopsis

The lives of a group of Atayal people were transformed irrecoverably after an infamous earthquake. Their homes vanished and important routes connecting them with the outside world have been buried. Under the leadship of Walis and A-Wu, the MIHU team was formed. Its goal was together rebuilding fund for the MIHU temporary housing project. In this ideal commune, the people work together and live together. They try to rebuild their homeland on their own, returning to a traditional tribal culture. However, the economic situation in the area worsens day by day. In order to make a living, MIHU members begin to search for other jobs and the team's solidarity is threatened. Two years pass, the government's rebuilding policy hasn't worked out. Another year elapses and important questions begin to rear their head-where can the MIHU residents go?
