Synopsis

Nowadays when you flick on the TV, many channels show drama series with female pop stars playing roles of so-called “leftover ladies”— single women who are well past the conventional marrying age. These shows spin a web of fantasies, reassuring the audience that someday the right person will come along and sweep you off your feet. But in reality, does the right person always exist?
Meet four Taiwanese women, the actual “leftover ladies” fighting to stay breathing in a somewhat stifling society. Since 2012, their mutual friend, CHOU Tung-yen, has been “stalking” them, capturing on film moments of these women’s daily lives.
Through the usually firm yet frequently hesitant steps of these leftover ladies, this documentary short prompts us to ask ourselves: Do we also feel the anxiety that comes along with being single? Are we aware of the isolation that is none but our own?
