Left-Handed Girl (2025) follows a struggling single mother, Shu-Fen, who moves her two daughters from the countryside to Taipei to start a new life by running a noodle stand. Their youngest child, I-Jing, is naturally left-handed, but her conservative grandfather calls it the βdevilβs hand,β forcing her to hide her true identity. As the family fights through poverty, societal pressure, and emotional wounds, the film exposes the painful clash between tradition, superstition, modern life, and personal identity. The story becomes a deeply moving portrait of resilience, generational trauma, and the unbreakable bond between mother and daughters.
