Em um vilarejo isolado nas montanhas da área rural de Taiwan, moram três meninos cheios de energia e otimismo. Crescendo longe do barulho de Taipei, suas vidas podem parecer simples, mas a distância da cidade grande não os isolou das dificuldades da vida. Órfão, Wutan era criado por sua avó e pelo irmão mais velho. Apesar de ser um pouco encrenqueiro, Watan fazia de tudo que podia para ajudar financeiramente sua família, mas não havia muito que uma criança pudesse fazer. Criado por um pai amoroso, Chen Hao gostava da vida em sua pequena vila. Ainda assim, ele não conseguia parar de pensar em como seria a vida se seus pais não tivessem se divorciado. Sonhando com a mãe, cujo único contato é um presente ocasional enviado de Taipei, Chen Hao não conseguia entender por que ela os havia deixado. Já Lin Shan ficava imaginando como seria a vida se morasse com pais que se dessem bem de fato. Com um pai que passava a maior parte do tempo bêbado e uma mãe cansada da vida, Lin Shan estava sempre desejando que as coisas fossem diferentes. Tentando oferecer às crianças do vilarejo uma saída para se distanciarem dos problemas de casa, a senhorita Lawa criou um programa para o horário após a escola. Apaixonados por sua professora e sua incrível voz melodiosa, Watan, Chen Hao e Lin Shan estavam convencidos de que encontrariam em Taipei alguém que reconheceria seu talento de cantora. Em uma jornada para isso, iniciaram uma viagem que mudaria suas vidas para sempre. (Fonte: Viki) Editar Tradução

Three vivacious boys and the mountain they live on
Hang in There, Kids! was written and directed by Taiwan's first female indigenous director, Laha Mebow. The film features three mischievous boys who live on a picturesque mountain and are about to graduate from the 6th grade. Though they go about their days in a joyful, care-free manner, their smiles hide very real pain.Watan who is an orphan living with his grandmother is the de facto leader of the group. He is overjoyed that his high school dropout brother has returned from Taipei to help with his grandmother's farm. Watan also harbors a not-so-secret crush on his afterschool teacher, Lawa, who is confined to a wheelchair. Chen Hao lives with his aging single father and longs for his absentee mother. The last of the group and the shortest is Lin Shan who wants to be an NBA player like Jeremy Lin. His father drinks too much and belongs to a band that struggles to find gigs in Taipei.
Whether pinching Watan's grandmother's veggies or Chen Hao's dad's peaches to sell illegally on the road or running away to spend the night with a French couple on the mountain, the boys always find joy in the moment. Despite their troubles they look for fun and adventure wherever they are. A fieldtrip to Taipei with their class gives each of them a chance to discover or share something important.
Music is woven throughout the film whether it is a naughty ditty the boys sing, a father's heartfelt apology and love for his son, or a woman's song of love and life after a crushed dream. The songs are skillfully used to not only enhance the emotions in a scene but also to tell part of the story.
The three boys carry the weight of the film on their small shoulders as the conflicts in this slice of life film are minimal. Watan's brother becomes involved with marijuana growers looking for land, Granny needs new teeth, and there's the small meaningful disclosure of the teacher's former life, but it's not like there are huge plot revelations. Most of the film is played out through the boys' daily lives and their search for a mother, a father, or a gift of love to a teacher. The boys' natural and energetic performances brought to gentle life the telling of their stories. If ever there was a setting that could be billed as a co-star it would be the scenic, mysterious mountain the boys traverse during their adventures.
There was a peaceful mood to this film. Even with the familial problems, the boys were close and tactile with each other and the other adults in the film. Lawa may have been in a wheelchair, but her heart soared to the children she cared for and the mountain around them. A sense of community and pride defined the story and the Sqoyaw people within it. Hang in There, Kids! was 90 minutes of friendship, family, and a little heartache. The mountain had its dark side but there was always something to discover. "What do you know? Maybe great things will happen." This tranquil, touching film about childhood is one to try if you enjoy this genre.
