In a village in Taiwan, three young boys are growing up. Watan is parentless and is living with his grandmother. Lin Shan¡¯s parents fight every time they drink. Chen Hao lives with his father but hasn¡¯t seen his mother who lives in Taipei for a long time. They all bravely deal with their lives despite their familial misfortunes. They sell peaches downtown and organize an event for their lovely teacher, Lawa who cannot walk after getting into an accident. This film is like a collection of heartwarming and delightful coming-of-age diaries of the three mischievous boys as they go about the ordinary courses of their lives. (AHN Jung-ah)
