Private Project

ELF

Miss Yen is an albino. She struggled through study and got into one of the normal universities. One year after graduation, Hao-hao wrote to Miss Yen and told her that he finally got a job. Ah-chih suffers from physical handicaps and creates flying angels in his paintings. On her way to her teaching job, Miss Yen runs into Ah-chih and Ah-chih believes he has seen an elf. Hao-hao takes off a leaf from flowers in the garden of the coffee shop. He uses that leaf to write a letter, telling his teacher that he has earned the first salary in his life and is going to give it to his mother.
The director compares those who suffer from physical handicaps but being hard-working and down to earth with the angels sent down by God. They are making the world a better place.
