Shu Qi ‘s highly anticipated directorial debut “ Girl ” has released its first footage, offering a glimpse into the intimate Taiwanese drama that will compete at the upcoming 82nd Venice Film Festival .
The film, which marks the acclaimed actor’s transition behind the camera, tells the story of Hsiao-lee, a withdrawn girl growing up in 1980s Taiwan whose world transforms when she encounters the vibrant Li-li. Set against the backdrop of Taiwan’s economic transformation in 1988, the drama explores themes of inherited trauma and the cyclical nature of family pain.
“Girl” stars Roy Chiu as Chiang, R&B singer-songwriter 9m88 as Chuan, and rising talent Bai Xiao-Ying as the protagonist Hsiao-lee. The cast also includes Audrey Lin as Li Li-li and Lai Yu-Fei as Sister.
