Premiering in Critics’ Week at Cannes and chosen as Taiwan’s submission for the 2026 Oscar, Left-Handed Girl marks Tsou Shiqing’s bold return to feature filmmaking. Co-written with Sean Baker (Anora, 2024), the film draws from Tsou’s own memories of family conflict and quiet rebellion.
A single mother and her two daughters return to Taipei to run a food stall in the bustling night market. When their traditional grandfather bans the youngest from using her “devil hand,” hidden tensions and long-suppressed secrets resurface.
