Points Up
MovieRomanceFantasy
Qing-han, an ordinary and introverted high school student, has a secret ability: by squinting, he can see “scores” above people’s heads based on appearance, academics, and social skills. He records these scores in a notebook, yet still fails to win over his crush, the school beauty Ming-zhen. When the notebook falls into the hands of Chun-xi, a struggling student secretly in love with top student Zi-xue, she threatens to expose Qing-han unless he helps improve her scores. After his guidance, Chun-xi confesses successfully—only to fall into Zi-xue’s trap and end up in deep trouble. Meanwhile, the newly single Ming-zhen grows closer to Qing-han, and Zi-xue’s true nature emerges. Qing-han hesitates between Ming-zhen and Chun-xi because he is obsessed with academic scores. He longs to be close to others but doesn’t have the courage to open his heart. How should Qing-han find his own happiness?

Tsunma, an honorific term connoting “noble, delicate, and pure”, refers to the Tibetan Buddhist Nuns of the Himalayan Region who have been largely dismissed or forgotten by the traditions they follow and the societies they’ve served. Taiwanese photographer Lin Li-Fang undertook a solo journey up 4,270 meters into the Himalayan Plateau and lived for an entire summer with some of these nuns and recorded life in the unforgiving environment dubbed “The Roof of the World”. There, Li-fang captured a life devoted to hope and faith and a people possessing a unique kind of tolerance, humility, and perseverance. This is a story of the Nuns of the Himalayas, of seeing one’s life through theirs, that is, a life lived in faith and with the spark of a summer eternal.
