In Think of You, a young man travels with his mentally handicapped younger brother from their hometown to Taipei for work, carrying a pineapple with them, which rhymes with ‘luck’ and is an auspicious symbol in Minnan. Will the pineapple bring them luck after all? Eternity in the Universe is a narration of childhood through a decade. From an abusive household to the HO’s where they find temporary solace and stability, the young siblings attempt to find eternity in the universe.
