story of a boy on Orchid Island, longing for a relationship with his father who works in Taiwan and rarely visits, and his new teacher trying to earn points by organizing the kids for an indigenous dance competition. I was ignorant of the indigenous peoples connected to Taiwan, so there was a lot to absorb. the story is bittersweet but the HFN ending is satisfying and believable. worth seeing.
