Overview

In 2013, Tsai was invited by filmmaker Tan Chui Mui to make a short film for an anthology film, Letters from the South. Tsai returned to his hometown in Kuching, Malaysia, where he made a “Walker” film at his childhood home. The seven-storey flat, which contained the happy memories of his childhood, is now occupied by strangers. His old neighbor, an older girl who used to bathe and feed him when he was a child, has also grown old.
