4.2 - Left-Handed Girl: Three women, a Devil Hand and a Meerkat.

This week, we're discussing Left-Handed Girl (2025), the debut feature from writer and director Shih-Ching Tsou.
Set in Taipei, the film follows a single mother and her two daughters as they start a new life running a noodle stand in a bustling night market. When five-year-old I-Jing, who is left-handed, is told by her traditional grandfather never to use her “devil hand,” family tensions and long-held secrets begin to surface. Shot entirely on an iPhone, Left-Handed Girl has a grainy, old-school quality that perfectly captures the energy of Taipei after dark.

We're getting a little scattered and silly this episode as we dive deep into the food stalls, family drama, and a Reddit theory that sent us spiraling.  Much like the film, we may go in circles, but eventually, we find our way back.

To sip alongside the film, we chose a Broadbent Vinho Verde from Portugal. It’s bright, fresh, and zesty, with tart green apple, white peach, and melon flavors.
And, as always, we don’t just give you our very unprofessional tasting notes, we also paint a picture so vivid you can practically taste it with us.

The colorful label, sense of place, and connection to family and tradition made this pairing feel right at home with Left-Handed Girl.
