我只是要來釣個魚，為什麼有這麼多問題？人和島嶼的關係可以是—共生、標示、獨佔亦或爭奪? 當所有人都揚起國族尊嚴的大旗，真正的主體卻更加曖昧不清——「釣魚台」，一個被龐大的政治糾葛所掩蓋、淹沒、模糊化的概念之島。導演陳芯宜以類新聞片手法，穿插動畫和紀錄影像， 以歷史，政治，新聞紀實切入釣魚台諸面向，剝去島嶼主權爭奪虛相，探求人欲與自然、個人與國家之間的恆久衝突 。

As soon as the name of the island of Diao-yu-tai is mentioned in Taiwan, it immediately strikes an emotional, patriotic response. These uninhabited islands are part of a long running political and diplomatic dispute between Taiwan, China and Japan, which started in 1968 when a survey found a potential oil source in the East China Sea. Ever since, there has been a dispute over who owns this territory.
