「34歲了,還是尬吧!尬到我贏為止!」舞齡17年的阿倫說。阿倫歷經台灣威權體制剛解放的90年代,透過街舞和嘻哈精神衝撞出不一樣的人生。在街舞開始流行前,阿倫早已獨自前往大阪、紐約、歐洲、巴西等地,探索不同的街舞靈魂。
 
來自台北街頭名為「八個小孩」的高中生舞團,成員都是90年代出生的新新人類,街舞和嘻哈文化反倒是這個時代的流行。「八個小孩」年齡僅有阿倫的一半,也許他們的舞技不夠成熟,但是對於舞蹈的熱情,以及八個小孩間的友情,比庸庸碌碌的成人們保有更多的熱血與夢想。
 
這一部關於兩個街舞世代的紀錄片。不一樣的世代卻有著一樣執著的街舞靈魂,對他們來說,夢想不需悲情,也不必嚴肅,總之,keep dancing就對了!
 
This is a documentary about two generations of hip-hop dancers.
 
“I’m 34 now and still dancing. Probably I won’t stop until I win,” said Alun. For him, hip-hop is his life, his oxygen. During the 90’s, when Taiwan was just liberated from authoritarian, he formed the first Taiwanese hip-hop group, “The Party”, and released two albums, even though he was subjected to vast pressure from the disagreeing eyes in the society. However, the group was somehow dismissed and the members simply went separate ways. Alun therefore went to Osaka, New York, Europe, Brazil and other places to explore different souls of the dance.
 
“Eight Children” was formed by a group of high school students. They are of the new generation born in the 90's and they are only about half of Alun’s age. This new generation of hip-hop dancers doesn’t have the pressure from the disagreeing eyes of the society, and in instead, they are fully sponsored by the praise and encouragement to a hip-hop culture. “Eight Children” agreed one year ago that after this year’s college entrance examination, they would come back and take part in the upcoming hip-hop competition. Will they have a happy ending? Or, who cares? Hip-hop needs not to be serious. Anyhow, just keep dancing!
