Damien grew up in the suburbs of Geneva, without knowing his father. At the age of 32, he learns that he is the direct heir of David BRUCE, a British resident of Taiwan. Damien goes to the lawyer’s office in Taipei where he meets his Taiwanese half-brother Steven. But two other heirs fail to show up, and the succession is suspended. Steven needs money for his mushroom plantation while Damien wants to learn more about his father. Despite their differences, the two half-brothers set out to find the missing heirs across the island, in Steven’s utility van. This road movie tells the story of the identity quest of two brothers discovering their similarities beyond differences in language and culture.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
