導演介紹 及 創作理念
「在癌症病房裡，每一個孩子都想活。」
兒童癌症像是病人裡面最脆弱的一環，他不像成人癌症由後天不良習慣、壓力等因素導致，而是先天來自遺傳或是不知原因的細胞病變。可是這群孩子本能似的對於生的渴望，讓他們扛過一次次漫長辛苦的療程，他們甚至會忍住疼痛不說，只怕父母會難過擔心。
《BIG》故事回到多年前，我在一次的電視紀錄片訪談中遇見了一個小女孩，她因為骨癌一腳截肢，手指頭也少了幾根，每天就比著 ROCKER 的手勢跳來跳去，卻令人意外的樂觀愛笑，這給我很大的震撼及啟發：如果有一群小朋友，男生、女生，有單純小小的戀愛、友情、有離別、有重逢，但背景是在兒童癌症病房裡，那這些平凡都會變得很不一樣，充滿了故事和情感。
這次我們不說道理，只說童言童語。在醫院裡反覆的出生和死亡，透過生與死的重複交疊，關於生命，少了大人的那些彎彎繞繞，由孩子口中說出來單純卻又直白的話，有時更能震撼人心。

Story
BIG brings together the heartfelt stories of six groups of families from different social classes and perspectives. The children in the ward are all with the mark of a warrior, which is a badge of fighting against the disease. There is Jesus V.S. Ksitigarbha, there is a wheelchair rally, and there are children who want to sleep together! There are also parents who always quarrel, but support each other at critical moments.
In ward 816, where pain and joy are shared, they seize every moment and cherish the opportunity to say goodbye.
