Two young musicians struggle with their careers and their relationship while a family of three lives near a graveyard, working hard to earn a living and confronting a deadly disease.
Musician Mo-zi (Mo Tzu-yi) is a washed-up guitarist and singer forced to distribute his band's album himself. To make things worse, his live-in girlfriend Kasey (Lu Chia-hsin), is a music star on the rise with a best-selling album and a growing legion of fans.
As Kasey's career takes off, Mo-zi struggles to pay off debts and faces eviction. Their relationship strained, Mo-zi refuses to accept any help from Kasey. He even rejects the song she writes for him every year on his birthday.
The musicians' relationship provides a memorable soundtrack of Mo-zi's rock songs and Kasey's pop tunes. But it is the feelings of the musicians that are most striking. Watch Online Movie Trailer free A Place Of One's Own (一席之地) Taiwan Hollywood film.The film Directed by :Lou Yi An
