Starring award-winning casts Shu Qi (Three Times, Millennium Mambo) and Joseph Chang (The Victims' Game), it's a quirky, hilarious action-comedy as Wuxia and musical mashup with hopeless romance. 

In a rural village filled with complicated relationships, the villagers are unaware of the outsider trying to wipe out their town. Before the attack, a mysterious guest arrives at the village with a mystical tool that could erase one's memory. He came to the town for a particular purpose——Is he with the assassin? Will the villagers be able to fight against those outsiders? 

《健忘村》是部具有武俠元素、富有寓意的喜劇作品。陳玉勳延續了廣告時期以來到《總鋪師》使用的天馬行空和奇幻元素，由舒淇與張孝全主演，同時寄予對現世社會制度的批判和深度關懷。

一個充滿憂患紛擾的偏遠村落，因為某天一位神秘道士來訪，勸誘所有村民接受神器「忘憂」的治療，一切隨改變了，第二天村裡所有的名稱、地位、關係都易主了，人們變得快樂，彷彿什麼都沒發生。第三天，第四天......幸福的日子會永遠持續下去嗎？

Born in 1962, Chen Yu-Hsun started working as an intern for Wang Shau-Di’s studio and discovered his passion for using moving images as a tool for storytelling. Chen continued to work as a scriptwriter for various TV series before developing his first feature, Tropical Fish (1994) which enjoyed a successful international festival tour. His attention to detail and awareness of surroundings has made it successful to expand his creativity into the advertising industry.
