Family Matters (Chinese: 我家的事; pinyin: Wǒjiā de shì; Tâi-lô: Guán tau ê tāi) is a 2025 Taiwanese family drama film directed by Pan Ke-yin and produced by Cheng Yu-chieh. The film stars Lan Wei Hua, Alexia, Tseng Jing-hua, and Yao Chun-yao. It received eight nominations at the 62nd Golden Horse Awards.[2]
The plot centers on the elder sister, Spring, discovering that she is adopted; the mother, Autumn, undergoing artificial insemination; the younger brother, Summer, preparing for military service; and the father, Winter, dealing with gambling debts and a volatile temper. The film explores how each member's story, told from their unique perspective, connects to form the complex narrative of the family.[3]
As the family confronts past wounds, generational expectations, and hidden tensions, they are forced to reevaluate what it truly means to stay together. Through a series of conflicts and reconciliations, the story depicts how each member learns to face their fears, communicate honestly, and rediscover their bond.
