巴克力藍,是位於花蓮豐濱港口部落外海的一個小島。《太陽的孩子》原住民導演勒嘎.舒米有話想說,透過當地的海祭,帶領觀眾進入阿美族部落生活和海洋文化,同時探討鄉下小孩往都市發展的去留及環境污染問題。在都市長大的高中男生Futing,原本想趁暑假跟同學一起環島,卻被叫回來部落照顧外公兼參加海祭。Futing對鄉下生活滿不是味兒,還要學習遵循部落下海捕魚的傳統,直至遇上了在部落打工換宿的美少女,決定在海祭舉辦之前游到巴克力藍島,證明自己是位真正的勇士。新晉少男少女林孫煜豪和鴻狄在這個夏天回到部落,接受海洋的洗禮,演出自然又討喜。

Panay director Lekal Sumi Changasan continues to highlight Taiwan aboriginal culture and the effects of modernization on traditional ways of life through this picturesque tale of a city youth’s return to nature and his roots. Student Futing, who lives in Taipei, is suddenly summoned back home by his mother for the summer. He’s told to take his injured grandfather’s place in the village sea festival. Unfamiliar with fishing and tribal customs, Futing grumbles and struggles with the task at hand, but finds renewed motivation after meeting new girl in town Lisin. The film’s title of Pakeriran refers to a small island off the coast of Hualien that Amis men must swim to in order to become true warriors.
