Touching and moving film. Movie is well edited and captures many funny memorable moments. Quick pacing. The film shows whether one is from Taiwan or the United States we are all just human. This film translates across cultures. Definitely worth seeing. I am a fan.

Simple story simply told, following a group of 80 somethings as they circumnavigate the coastal highways of Taiwan. Heartwarming.
