While taking responsibility is a huge step in one’s personal development, there is no denying it can come at an unfortunate time. Nevertheless, minding other people and their needs and making them your prerogative for a while, if they are in need, is an important part of growing up and has therefore been at the core of many stories, films, books and even songs, which deal with being a teenager and finally progressing from the proverbial self-centered youth to an adult, or at least someone who behaves that way. In that regard, Taiwanese director Yi-Shan Lee’s choice of subject for her altogether fourth short feature “Babes’ Not Alone” is one which is quite traditional and very rewarding. However, with the addition of the busy streets of Taipei as the background to a story dealing with these issues, the foundation of the narrative gets an interesting layer.
