On the midnight of August 8, 2009, Typhoon Morakot swept over Taiwan and wrought widespread catastrophic damage. It was the deadliest storm to hit the island in recorded history, with the vast majority of deaths occurring in Xiaolin Village. The heavy rainfall triggered a landslide and 462 lives were lost as the village was buried overnight.
What then, does living means to a survivor left behind? Seven years has passed and Weng Rui Qi remains devastated by the incident. As the sole survivor of a once-large family, he watched helplessly as the landslide claimed the lives of his loved ones in an instant.
The film looks at the choices Weng has to make as he comes to terms with the tragedy and accompanies him on his journey as he seeks solace and closure in a world unhinged. With Director Chen Wen-pin adopting a quiet and reflective storytelling style to craft an intimate observational piece, “From Now On” is a vigil to remember the lives lost in Morakot and to honor the courage of those affected by the disaster and their will to survive.
