A female boxer faces challenges both in and outside the ring in the feature debut from Taiwanese director Lee Yi-shan. Anchored by a stand-out central performance from newcomer Lin Yi-ting, A Dance with Rainbows<\/em> weaves deftly between sports drama and a heartfelt coming-of-age story.<\/p>\n

The film debuted at the 2025 Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival in a slightly longer version, before playing at both the Hong Kong International Film Festival<\/span> and the New York Asian Film Festival in its current, leaner form this year.<\/div>\n

The film\u2019s protagonist, Chen Chia-ling (Lin), or simply Ling, shares her name with the subject of Lee\u2019s 2007 documentary short, Knockout<\/em>. While that short followed a young athlete taking part in a world-class boxing competition, the narrative arc in Lee\u2019s fictional feature is considerably more challenging than that of a conventional sporting tournament.<\/p>\n

Ling\u2019s home life is far from settled. Her mother (Lotus Wang) makes ends meet by selling lunchboxes, while her father (Yu An-shun) philanders brazenly with his glamorous young \u201cbusiness partner\u201d (Lee Chien-na) and her younger brother (Justin Tien) is routinely belittled at the gym where he plays table tennis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
