Landscaping

Directed by Lee Li-shao

As Taipei's house price-to-income (PTI) ratio has topped the world, Taiwanese people may work hard all their lives but still can't afford a costly apartment. Caught up in this money game of flipping properties, real estate agents hunt their targets in co-opetition, while being torn between the buyers and sellers. The film focuses on a real estate agent husband and his painter wife, and the couple's hectic life: the husband chasing after money with his silver tongue, while the wife producing art with her paint brush. Together, they orchestrate a landscape of Taiwan in this very century.
