電影從主角阿孝的童年記憶出發，以自大陸遷台後五 ○年代末期的時空背景作為舞台，細數一家祖孫三代各自抱持的迥異土地情懷。這部自傳性質濃厚的電影是侯孝賢和李屏賓的第一次聯手，兩個都在鳳山長大的男人試圖找出一種過去生活的感覺，光影不再走傳統的飽滿路線，反而自成一格，開啟了兩人的信任與默契，也從此展開一連串合作。

Ah-ha quickly acclimates himself to the new country, often putting him at odds with his more traditional family. However, Ah-ha's eccentric and slightly batty grandmother dotes over him, and often regales him with her tales of China and her desire to return there...
