ORIGINAL TITLE
恨女的逆襲

Twenty-year-old Ling, a promising boxer, struggles to stay afloat both inside and outside the ring. When she’s not training to become a contender, she works tirelessly for her mother’s lunchbox delivery service. After her father brazenly brings his new paramour/business partner home, Ling simmers with anger at her mother’s indifference and her family’s dysfunction. But when she gets an opportunity to make some real cash at underground boxing matches, her faith in her sport, her coach, and her own character is put to the ultimate test. Director Lee Yi-shan makes a bruising, sharply felt debut about filial duty, female anger, and a young woman learning that rage is useless unless it finds its target. Winner of the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Choreography.
