Synopsis
In Ten Years Taiwan, environmental disasters loom as the island's indigenous people
and immigrant workers are systematically exploited. Moreover, the loss of culture
and dropping birth rate have made the islanders escape from the reality at an
unprecedented scale.
兰屿岛上，一名达悟族老人准备防台工作，但面对将至的台风，核废料问题更令他忧心恐惧。在未来，护肺中心取代养老院，即使时空穿梭，移工所遭遇到的困境却数十年如一日，难以伸张。当台湾工厂一间间外移，乡下青年被家人逼迫北上工作才有出息，十年后城乡差距的就业问题依然存在？过年广告即将开拍，业主坚持要婴儿当主角，面对少子化的未来，找到一名婴儿似乎比登天还难。睡眠中心里，各种梦境任君挑选，面对越发复杂与纷扰的社会，直接遁入梦境是否能一梦了之？ 继香港《十年》热烈回响及争议后，十年电影工作室推动完成泰国、台湾、日本十年系列的反思对话，台湾版以导演自身城市处境交织社会现况，将当前的议论化为影像的诘问，投射出台湾社会未来的想像。
