背光 Against the Darkness

About

《背光》取材自一則真實社會新聞「一名男子獨自推著輪椅，載著剛過世的母親前往醫院捐贈器官。」

我們將這個事件轉化成另一個故事：一位母親，為了讓喜愛畫畫的女兒能夠繼續作畫，偷走了意外死亡的房東遺體，獨自推著輪椅走向醫院。在這段荒謬的旅途中，她開始看見自己的瘋狂。

究竟誰是瘋狂，誰是正常？

Against the Darkness is inspired by a true news story — a man who wheeled his recently deceased mother to a hospital alone, hoping to donate her organs.

We transformed this into a different story: a mother who steals a dead body and pushes it in a wheelchair to a hospital, all so her artist daughter can have the eyes she needs to keep painting. Along the way, she begins to see the madness in herself.

Who is truly crazy, and who is not?
