Daughter of the Nile
1987 · Movie · 91 min. · Taiwan
A wistful schoolgirl who is peripherally involved in a teen-aged crime ring. She escapes from the harshness of her surrounding reality by reading her favorite comic book, Daughter of the Nile. Despite its inherent whimsical nature, the film is a straight-on look at urban decay in modern Taiwan.
