In a small and picturesque town in Taiwan, the life of a young and humble vegetable vendor, Ah-Feng, takes an unexpected turn when he agrees to take care of a peculiar duck named Tzu-Chuan. This duck is not just any duck; it has a special talent for dancing. As Ah-Feng develops a friendly connection with Tzu-Chuan, the pair begins to attract the attention of the townsfolk, becoming a local sensation that revives the spirit and joy in the community.
However, the story is not just a journey of success and friendship. Ah-Feng faces many challenges, including pressure from his family, who expect him to take on a "serious" job rather than waste time with a dancing duck. Social norms, the struggle for dreams, and the confrontation between duty and passion form the core of this heartfelt narrative.
As the bond between Ah-Feng and Tzu-Chuan strengthens, the young man learns important lessons about life, acceptance, and how true happiness is often found in the most unexpected places. In the end, it's not just about a dancing duck, but about a journey of self-discovery in which Ah-Feng must decide between following others' expectations or forging his own path, all set to the cheerful rhythm of a duck at the center of the story.
