Singing keeps having a recurrent dream—she sees a boy shouting at her but she can neither see his face nor hear what he says. One night at sea on a ferry, she comes across a young soldier who claims to be her future lover. The girl pays no attention to the soldier’s seemingly ridiculous story, but a series of mysterious incidents makes her begin to wonder if he might be telling the truth. Bridging islands, transcending loneliness, beyond thought and feeling-- we have but to dream. Produced by acclaimed director Hou Hsiao Hsien, “One Day” is a visual love poem of magical realism presented by the talented young filmmaker Hou Chi-Jan, the winner of the Grand Prix of the Taipei International Film Festival, and starring the Golden Horse Award-winning actress Nikki Hsin-Ying Hsieh and the Golden Bell Award-winning actor Bryan Shu-Hao Chang.
