Saving Mother Robot

In late December 2012, Taipei experiences an unusual winter heatwave, with temperatures soaring into the 30s. Eight-year-old Tiger (Antoine) resides with his 36-year-old mother, Cao Yi (Vivian Hsu), who is divorced and facing financial difficulties due to her job as a magazine editor and decreased alimony from her former husband (Tang Kuo-chung). Tiger, possessing a vivid imagination, perceives his mother as a worn-out robot in need of an upgrade. He struggles academically, causing concern for his art teacher (Mini Yang) with the somber drawings he creates during class.
