Based on the life story of Huang Yu-Siang, who stars as himself, Touch of the Light tells Huang's story as a blind piano prodigy from rural Taiwan and his relationship with Xiao Jie, a young woman who dreams of becoming a dancer despite enormous challenges. Critically acclaimed and warmly received worldwide (Taiwan's official entry to Oscar in 2013 for Best Foreign Language Film), Touch of the Light is blessed with the most striking performance by Huang Yu-Siang as it celebrates triumphs of those who dare to dream.
