Ah-Ma: A Tale of Two Generations
Ah-Ma is a captivating narrative that delves into the lives of two remarkable women from different worlds and generations. Born in Taiwan, Na-Na's early years were colored by the enchanting presence of her grandmother, Ah-Ma. However, at the tender age of four, she returned to Australia, leaving behind the profound influence of Ah-Ma, a celebrated Taiwanese Opera actress renowned for her powerful performances in Gezaixi. Ah-Ma's legacy imprinted deeply upon Na-Na, igniting in her a fervent desire to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become an opera actress herself. As the film unfolds, the haunting melodies of Gezaixi's songs resound, serving as a poignant backdrop to the emotions of longing and connection that thread through the narrative.
