At heart, what do you treasure most? Behind every object, every painting and every book there is a story. In Doris’ Café, not only can you sit down drink café lattes or eat delicious éclairs, but you can trade any object, song or story in exchange of another which holds your interest. This beautiful movie depicted the lives of two sisters, Josie and Doris who run a quaint coffee shop in the heart of Taipei. It emphasizes the value we place on objects as well as the stories we share on a daily basis, however, when asked the question, what do we treasure most, the answer lies not in these objects, but the story behind them; the people we encounter and the memories we make. This movie, though beautiful, was a bit slow at the start but the wonderful scenery and themes surrounding the plot made it a great watch. Next time you purchase something second hand, or receive a hand me down, ask yourself, “What story is behind this object? What memory will I have with it?”
