仳加費塔是16 世紀時隨著葡萄牙船隊來到菲律賓的義大利學者，本片敘述他帶回一個菲律賓工匠，敘述他跟著仳加費塔回到義大利的故事。故事反轉了魯賓遜和星期五的關係，是塔西米克關於殖民者與被殖民者關係的後現代想像。

Pigaffeta is an Italian scholar fleeting to the Philippines with Portuguese sailors in the 16 century. The film tells the story that he brought back a Filipino craftsman and this man became the first Pilipino traveling to Europe. Tahimik’s whimsical imagination reveres the relationship between Robinson and Friday, and is the postmodern imagination of the colonizers and　the colonized.

每一部塔西米克的電影基本上都是一封信，一封信的意思是，有作者、有信物與有信件的終點，這是他的電影之所以如此自由、如此獨樹一格的秘密。在這部給他3 個兒子的深情書寫中，他對自然、對己身文化和對家人的愛已融為一體。

Every piece of Tahimik’s works can be regarded as a letter. It means that in each film one can distinguish the writer, the letter (film) itself and the destination. That’s the secret why his films are foremost free. In this film (letter) which he wrote to his three sons, his love for nature and family and his dedication to his own culture fuse perfectly.
