This is a documentary about two generations of street dance. “At 34, I’m still dancing! I'll keep dancing until I win!” says Alan, who has been dancing for 17 years. For him, street dance is his life; it's in his blood. In the 1990s, when Taiwan had just liberated from authoritarianism, Alan formed the first local hip-hop group, “The Party,” with his friends, even releasing two albums despite the societal pressures and disapproving looks. However, the group disbanded for various reasons, and the members went their separate ways. Alan then traveled alone to Osaka, New York, Europe, Brazil, and other places to explore different street dance souls. He's described by his students as a madman in the street dance world. To outsiders, no one understands what he is trying to convey, and no one knows what he truly thinks. This film documents Alan's journey from 2007 to 2008 as he prepares to compete in the world championship in Paris. During this time, he is willing to teach and lead dance sessions to raise the funds for his trip to Paris, believing that “as a dancer, if you never compete once in your life, it will be a regret in your heart.” The other storyline follows a high school dance crew from the streets of Taipei called “Eight Kids.” They are the new generation born in the 90s, only half the age of Alan. The new generation of street dancers faces less societal pressure and instead receives admiration and encouragement from those around them. So what are their dreams regarding street dance? What impact has street dance had on them? A year ago, “Eight Kids” agreed to return to the scene after finishing college this year to face the upcoming street dance competition. Will there be a happy ending for everyone? If they win the championship, will their lives change? Is it possible that the passionate dreams of their youth only come once, like a summer dream? Perhaps in the end, the sentiments will be as YA from the group lightly states, “It feels like this summer wasn’t wasted.” The spirit of hip-hop doesn’t need to be overly sentimental or serious. In short, just keep dancing.
