Family Matters follows the lives of a seemingly ordinary family in rural Taiwan, spanning twenty-four years and four distinct time periods. Each family member faces a life-altering challenge: the elder sister searching for her true origins, the mother struggling with the process of artificial insemination, the younger brother meets his birth father by chance, and the father desperately trying to change his fate.
