Spider Lilies ( ), directed by Zero Chou, is a pioneering Taiwanese drama that explores the intersections of memory, trauma, and identity within a queer romance. The film notably won the Teddy Award for Best Feature Film at the 2007 Berlin International Film Festival. Plot Overview

The story follows two young women, Jade and Takeko, whose lives were profoundly shaped by the Taiwan earthquake:

Jade (Rainie Yang): A webcam girl who hides her deep-seated loneliness behind a colorful online persona. She seeks a tattoo that symbolizes "remembered love," leading her to Takeko's studio.

Takeko (Isabella Leong): A tattoo artist who chose her profession to honor her father, who died in the earthquake while saving her brother, Ching.

The Conflict: Jade is entranced by the "spider lily" tattoo on Takeko's arm—a design Takeko got to help her traumatized brother remember their father. However, Takeko believes the flowers are cursed, as legend says they line the path to Hell and cause memory loss. Key Features

Spider Lilies (刺青 - Cìqīng) is a 2007 Taiwanese drama directed by Zero Chou that explores the deep themes of memory, trauma, and forbidden love.

Main Cast: Rainie Yang (as Jade) and Isabella Leong (as Takeko). Language: Mandarin (Traditional Chinese). Genre: Drama / Romance. Run Time: 94 minutes. Synopsis

The story follows Jade, an 18-year-old webcam model who seeks out a tattoo artist named Takeko to get a spider lily design. Jade quickly realizes that Takeko is actually her childhood crush.

The spider lily tattoo itself carries heavy symbolism and trauma; it is the same design Takeko’s father had on his arm when he died in a devastating earthquake. Takeko’s younger brother, Ching, was traumatized by the event and only remembers the image of the golden flowers. Takeko wears the tattoo to help her brother's recovery and out of a sense of guilt. As Jade tries to make Takeko remember their shared past, the two women must confront buried memories and the psychological scars left by their history. Where to Watch (Arabic Subtitles)

The Plot: A Web of Memory and Desire

The film centers on two young women whose lives intersect in unexpected ways. Jade (played by the iconic Rainie Yang) is a bubbly webcam girl who seems to live a carefree life in the digital world. However, beneath her vibrant exterior lies a lingering childhood memory of a young woman who once saved her life during an earthquake.

That woman is Takeko (Isabella Leong), a quiet, stoic tattoo artist who lives in the shadow of a traumatic past. Takeko’s father died in the same earthquake that links them, and she has since withdrawn from the world, finding solace only in her art.

When Jade wanders into Takeko's tattoo shop, the attraction is immediate. Jade wants a tattoo of spider lilies—the same flower Takeko’s father had inked on his arm. For Jade, it is a way to get closer to her childhood savior; for Takeko, the flower is a painful reminder of a past she cannot escape.
