Synopsis
Si-inreshan is a 7-year-old girl from the Dau Tribe on the Island of Lanyu, also known as Orchid Island. She lives with her grandmother and does not speak the common language as used in school. Day in day out, she follows only her instincts : sleeping till she wakes naturally, after which she will go to school. lf she gets bored in class, she simply walks out of the classroom. lf the climate is too hot, she will go for a swim at the beach. In light of civilization's constant progress and the traditions of her tribe, we begin to wonder, what kind of difficulties is she likely to encounter in the process of her growing up?
