Synopsis

My Heavenly City is a place of love and dreams… 

Adapted from the award-winning short film "My Heavenly City" by Taiwan's new generation director Sen-I Yu. 

Director Sen-I Yu lived in the city of New York for close to 20 years. To her, the city feels warm and cold at the same time, marked by her youthful aspirations and a deep longing to be happy. The director has always hoped to make a movie to express the beauty and sadness of life in New York City from the perspective of a foreigner. 

My Heavenly City explores what a heavenly city is through the lens of the relationships between parents and child, husband and wife, and a caregiver for a child with mental illness. This movie is for anyone dealing with life’s challenges, trials and tribulations. Its objective is to encourage audiences watching the movie to reflect and grow. 

故事大綱

有愛有夢想的地方，就是我的天堂城市。 

改編自台灣新生代導演俞聖儀的得獎短片「我的天堂城市」。 

旅居紐約近二十年的導演俞聖儀，許許多多的青春夢想，和幸福憧憬都在這個既熱情又冰冷的城市裡燃燒，和許多異鄉人一樣，在熙熙攘攘的城市人潮裡，在充滿壓力又十分孤獨的空氣裡呼吸，或無感地生存著，或快樂地掙扎著...。導演表示她一直都希望能拍一部電影是以異鄉人的觀點，訴說城市裡的美麗與哀愁。 

「我的天堂城市」透過親子關係、夫妻關係、小孩本身患有疾病的照護，帶領觀眾探討，天堂城市是什麼？而自己所面對的人生挑戰又是什麼？家人的相處是壓力還是愛？促使觀眾在看電影同時，有所省思也有所成長。
