Having completed junior high education, Wan leaves his hometown for Taipei City. With him is Huen, the girl he grew up with. In Taipei, they lead a very hard, but happy life. Then, Wan is drafted into military service. On the eve of his departure, Huen gives him 1,096 self-addressed and postal stamped envelopes, hoping that Wan will write to her every day during his three-year military service period.

Based on the personal experience of Wu Nien-jen, the co-writer of the film, Dust in the Wind is a nostalgic portrayal of the changing Taiwan of the early 1970s.

Our screening on 8 September was introduced by Tom Cunliffe (UCL).
