  • Expected
  • In bustling Taipei, a mother and her two daughters confront family secrets and generational expectations.

    Single mother Shu-Fen and her two daughters, teenager I-Ann and five-year-old I-Jing, return to Taipei after years of living in the countryside. All three face quite a lot. Shu-Fen has to clean up the mess left by her ex while working herself to the bone at a food stall, and I-Ann wants to stand on her own but keeps making the wrong decisions. When left-handed I-Jing is pressured by her traditional grandfather to never use her "devil's hand" again, suddenly three generations of family secrets begin to unravel.
