Only through the good-natured acts of her closest  friend, Lucy, and the most fortuitous acquaintance with the local town's dance mentor, Will Power, Jenny realizes at the last moment before  committing the crime that her long-dead dad would have liked more for her  than this.

AH-MA: A TALE OF TWO GENERATIONS  
Ying Chu, AU, 16min.
Ah-Ma is a captivating narrative that delves into the lives of two remarkable  women from different worlds and generations. Born in Taiwan, Na-Na's  early years were colored by the enchanting presence of her grandmother,  Ah-Ma. However, at the tender age of four, she returned to Australia,  leaving behind the profound influence of Ah-Ma, a celebrated Taiwanese  Opera actress renowned for her powerful performances in Gezaixi. Ah Ma's legacy imprinted deeply upon Na-Na, igniting in her a fervent desire to follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become an opera actress  herself. As the film unfolds, the haunting melodies of Gezaixi's songs  resound, serving as a poignant backdrop to the emotions of longing and  connection that thread through the narrative.
