The Doctor
On the afternoon of Independence Day, 1996, a Taiwanese-American boy, Felix, posted a puzzling notice on the door of his bedroom. Three hours later, he ended his own life. Devastated by the tragedy, his father, Dr. Wen, left Iowa City, his home of twenty years, and moved to Miami, where the sunny, warm climate and the passage of time seem to have distanced him somewhat from the traumatic experience. But his grief persists. Six years later, Sebastian, a cancer patient from Peru, comes to receive treatment from him and brings alternative perspectives on life. This film focuses on the transience, conflicts, and mysteriousness of life through the stories of two adolescents of the same age.
