NOT WITHOUT U

Based on a true story and powered by a gripping and very natural realism, "No puedo vivir sin ti" (Spanish for 'I can't live without you') tells the story of Li Wu Hsiung, a middle-aged man in Taiwan who makes a meagre living by doing odd-jobs for little money. He has a young girl whose mother went away years ago, leaving father and daughter alone. However Li is not her legal guardian, which becomes a problem when he tries to enrol her in school. The government decides to remove her from his care. He then does everything he can to get her back. Taiwan's official submission to the 82nd Academy Award in 2010 for Best Foreign Language picture.
