開著一輛老賓士,年邁的阿福剛失去妻子,寡言的他就像被困在過去的時光裡。他變賣家當,處理摯愛的破車,準備移民加拿大與兒子會合,然而生活卻沒有輕易放過他。和女兒的心結難解,也見證舊友年華逝去、世事無常,突如其來的變故,更一下子打亂了他的計畫,將他推入絕境。與跨性別女性娟妮萍水相逢,或許是生命贈與的最後契機,他在路上還有什麼未盡的習題?

A recently widowed old man finds himself confronted with the bittersweet task of parting with his cherished old car as he prepares to migrate to another country. He reluctantly embarks on a journey that forces him to confront his past, his profound sense of loss, and his enduring love.

這部電影源自我對衰老、記憶與家庭的個人思考。故事的核心人物是阿福,一位準備離開家園、前往海外與兒子展開新生活的鰥夫。然而,他難以放下自己的汽車——一個承載著記憶、愛與缺席的物件。影片在過去與現在交錯的時刻中展開,在與他人的相遇中帶來片刻的反思,探問「向前走」的意義——並非乾脆利落的割捨,而是一種持續在抓緊與放手之間的過程。
本片的重要靈感來自我父親停止駕駛的經歷,那是一個我所見證的、關於獨立與身份逐漸退去的安靜時刻。同時,它也源於我自身對時間流逝的感知,以及對衰老的理解——記憶在消逝中仍然存在,而人生則在可預見與不可預見之間持續前行。

This film stems from my personal reflections on aging, memory, and family. At its centre is Hock, an elderly widower preparing to leave his home and begin a new life with his son overseas. Yet, he finds it difficult to let go of his car — an object that holds memory, love, and absence. Shaped by moments where past and present collide, and where encounters with others offer pause for reflection, the film dwells on what it means to move forward — not as a clean break, but as a continuous act of holding on and letting go.
A key inspiration for the film is my father’s experience of stopping driving for good, a moment I witnessed as a quiet loss of independence and identity. It also arises from my own growing awareness of time passing and aging, where memory persists even as it fades, and life continues, both predictably and unpredictably.
