Synopsis : Yi yi is a Taiwanese film about the emotional struggles of a businessman and the lives of his middle-class Taiwanese family in Taipei seen through three generations.
Yi Yi is an epic story about the Taipei Jian family seen through three different perspectives: the middle-aged father NJ (Nien-Jen Wu), the young son Yang-Yang (Jonathan Chang),
and the teenage daughter, Ting-Ting (Kelly Lee). The three-hour piece
starts with a wedding, concludes with a funeral, and contemplates areas
of human life in between. The father, NJ, is unsatisfied with his work
and the desire of his business partners to enter into a deal with a
well-known Japanese videogame
company. While his partners are only concerned about making money, NJ
finds that his honest nature is unappreciated in the commercial realm.
To his surprise, he finds a connection with the Japanese software mogul,
Ota. A former old flame, Sherry, tries to walk into his life after a
chance reunion. His youngest son has troubles at school with his
teachers, while his daughter has to handle a love triangle
involving her friend next door and her troubled boyfriend. All three
try to deal with their problems while also caring for NJ's aged
mother-in-law, who is in a coma, and in the absence of NJ's wife, who has left for a Buddhist retreat after facing a midlife crisis.
In addition, A-Di, NJ's overweight brother-in-law who marries a starlet
at the start of the film, has to wrestle with his demanding wife and a
former love, complicating matters within this extended family.
