Meeting Dr. Sun

A young man nicknamed Left-Handed thinks he's the poorest student on his high school. But one day, while hiding in the school's basement from bullies, who are after him because he didn't have the money that needed to be collected from the students that day, he finds a bronze statuette of Sunjatsen. Left-Handed and his classmates scheme what to do with the valuable portrait of the revolutionary co-founder of Kuomintang. Should Left-Handed sell it and solve his financial problems? This is Yee Chih-yen's third feature film, the director and screenwriter who became known for his romantic drama Blue Gate. In this picture he concentrates on the coveted genres of high school comedies and „heist films" that scheme and plan thefts, as well as on the social groups. Meeting Dr. Sun is a comedy but at heart it's a story about poverty in Taiwan. (Filmasia)
