A Sun

'A Sun' focus on the dramatic events that take place in the life of the two sons of a middle class taiwanese family.

The elder son is a troubled adolescent that gets involved into crime and sent to a correctional facility - what is perceived as an unforgivable sin by his father - while the younger one is a popular student that is the pride of the house but can't seem to find happiness in this world.

As the story unfolds, we get to see the characters trying to improve themselves and fight their past mistakes in a road full of forgiveness and recognition towards each other. Being a western person, the strict family values - which are very different from what we have right now on the west - trigger a deep feeling of respect, even when not agreeing or understanding them at all.

Beautiful imagery and great acting give the finishing touch to this great movie.

9/10.
