Shou Niang

Shou Niang

During the Qing dynasty in Taiwan, a deeply patriarchal society dictates women's lives from birth. Chieh watches as her sister-in-law, desperate to bear a son, succumbs to dangerous folk superstitions. Meanwhile, Chieh herself faces mounting pressure to marry, yearning for a different fate.

One day, Chieh discovers the body of a woman by the river. A priestess is called to perform rites so the spirit may pass peacefully. Witnessing the priestess's connection to the spirit world, Chieh sees a chance for independence and becomes her apprentice. Soon, small handprints appear on Chieh's legs as she sleeps, and more women go missing or are found dead. Chieh must confront the mysteries surrounding her, seeking a life of her own choosing.
