The Busy Young Psychic

"A young psychic who can see spirits decides to stand up and fight against the temple culture when she is faced with a choice between fulfilling the responsibility placed by superstitious adults and living up her teenage life."

Xie Junya is a teenage girl who possesses the innate ability to see the dead, a problem that has troubled her for a long time. She sought help at a temple, but the problem was not solved. Instead, many devotees gather to ask her questions about their deceased loved ones and even winning lottery numbers. Her work as a psychic leaves her with no time to practice baseball. What she really cares about is whether a guy in her school’s baseball team likes her. The boy she has a crush on invites Junya to his birthday party. However, there is a long line of people waiting at the temple for her advice. How will she choose between love and her sacred mission?

This short film is precise to the feeling of religious and civil culture of Taiwan. Much better than it's derivative work "The Teenage Psychic". If you want to taste the authentic Taiwan culture, I recommend it with all my heart, instead of the shame produced by HBO, which is a mix of common elements in the whole world only with the intention to attract who know who, perfectly made that mini series a less-than-so-so.
