I Blew Out the Candle Before Making a Wish

I Blew Out the Candles Before Making a Wish is a 2026 Taipei Film Festival International New Talent Competition entry directed by CHAO Koi Wang and Yen HU. The film follows a Macau girl living with her grandmother in a rooftop shack, who teams up with a down-on-his-luck debt collector from Taiwan after she finds a casino chip. Featuring Ko Chen-tung, Chin Yen-ling, and child star Mei Ching-yen, the movie weaves a tale of unlikely bonds, deception, and the true value of life across cultures and generations.
