A delicate meditation on memory and colonial history, Tsai’s film traces the stories of the Takasago Giyutai, an Indigenous Taiwanese military unit in the Second World War. Blending archival material with personal reflection, it confronts the tensions between duty, identity, and the erasure of marginalized histories, offering a poetic exploration of legacy and remembrance.

Due to the 2026 Berlin Half Marathon, between 27–29 March there are road closures in the area. HKW is fully accessible via public transport—S-Bahn (Hauptbahnhof) and U-Bahn (Bundestag)—and via bike or on foot. 

This screening is part of the Walk-in Cinema, the film programme accompanying the exhibition Tirailleurs: Trials and Tribulations.
