一個稿紙糊成的家,一場未竟的文學夢。
The simple and poignant story of a fabled literary family, for whom the writing continues.
平凡的桂花樹下人家,塵封著小說家朱西甯與翻譯家劉慕沙的書信,他們的情書非情書,還題下「唯有文學,不能平凡」的鴻鵠大志,一個隨國軍來台的軍人,與本省籍的醫生千金,在歷史交會點寫下深刻愛戀。 朱西甯致力於小說創作,不斷突破自我風格,創新小說題材與寫作語言;劉慕沙從事日本文學翻譯,引介日本大家新視野,這對相互扶持的伴侶,為文學私奔、也為文學獻身。電影紀錄兩人從相識相戀的緣分,到抵抗外在壓力邁向婚姻的結合,撐起一個稿紙糊成的家,同時結交各路友人才俊,將文學作為一生燃燒的核心志業。他們寫故事,也成為故事,手中的筆總在第一線,與精彩的人生緊緊相依。
