Silent Sparks is a 79-minute Taiwanese crime film exploring queer desire, masculinity and life on the margins of society. Freshly released from prison, Pua is drawn back into the criminal underworld by financial necessity and his determination to support his mother. He also longs to reconnect with Mi-ji, a former cellmate for whom he harbours unspoken feelings. However, their long-awaited reunion falls short of Pua’s expectations, forcing both men to confront difficult choices within a world governed by loyalty, violence and rigid codes of masculinity. Through its sensitive portrayal of concealed desire and emotional vulnerability, the film examines the conflict between love, survival and belonging in an environment where intimacy must remain hidden.

During the Berlinale, Chuang coordinated schedules and communications between the film’s cast and production team and the festival staff. She also served as director Chu Ping’s interpreter, providing Mandarin–English translation during interviews, pitching sessions and other festival engagements.
