The Lobster Kid

A story about a karaoke-addicted old woman struggling with her self-worth and a sense of betrayal at her long-lost husband's funeral where she encounters his younger and more sophisticated girlfriend while she finds out her kids might have been secretly in touch with her late husband all these years.

A karaoke-addicted elderly woman (Chen Shu-Fang) lives her life by the Taiwanese saying, “Guo Mie,” which translates to “as long as you devote your life to the creation of one thing, and do whatever you could, everything will turn out.” But her philosophy is seriously put into question as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her estranged husband. She attends the funeral only to encounter his younger lover and then finds out that her children might have kept in touch with her late husband secretly behind her back. Director Joseph Chen-Chieh Hsu said that the story is based on his grandmother, who was forced to raise eight kids by herself after her husband ran away. The student short film was shot in his home country of Taiwan. Selected as a 2017 Student Academy Awards Finalist, the short also appeared in the 2018 Asian American International Film Festival. It’s the first time that lead actress Shu-Fang has sung in a film in over 40 years.

Tim Kao, the meticulous head chef of a five-star hotel in Taiwan, is set to marry his Hong Kong fiance Daisy Wu. But Tim’s divorced parents refuse to attend the same ceremony, and each insists on hosting their own. To complicate things further, the Feng Shui master chooses the same auspicious date for both events. Tim, Daisy, their wedding planner Regina, and the best man Tsai must orchestrate two weddings simultaneously in the same hotel, without either parent finding out. Surrounded by a strict father, a demanding mother, and a cast of sharp-tongued relatives, Tim must confront the traumas of his upbringing and ask himself: is he truly ready to start a new family of his own?
