Synopsis
- Ohong Village traces a village youth who seeks for the home that he cannot return to.
- In the remotest corner of southern Taiwan, the sinking coastal village prepares for another carnival for the sea god. Sheng, reaching into his 30s and departed years ago, now returns in disguise as an established urban elite. As the carnival escalates, Sheng confronts his persistent oyster farming father Ming, and Kun, the childhood buddy who always envies his fragile 'successfulness'.
- 《蚵豐村》隨著兩代漁村人腳步,追尋他們難以回溯的家鄉。
- 台灣西南角落,日漸下沉的蚵村,迎來又一次王船慶典。擱淺的船、水中的村,斑駁神偶夾在其中,笑看眾生,是這塊土地共同風景。年近三十的盛吉離村混跡大城市多年,此時故作風光,扮了個叱吒都會商場的成功姿態回來,對簇擁的親人吹噓外頭世界發財夢。熱鬧餐桌另頭,父親順明早已靜靜看透一切。隨著祭典升溫,盛吉得用脆弱偽裝,面對顧了一輩子下沉蚵地、同時頑固地守著自身秘密的順明;而在另一頭,還有對他的「成功」眼紅已久的兒時玩伴昆男,此刻正想拉攏盛吉合夥,靠異想天開的「體驗蚵農生活」鹹魚翻身大發觀光財。 潮水將退,鑼鼓有時,王船引火正出帆。小小蚵村,人人有張難以卸下的面具。
