Award-winning Taiwanese American director Arvin Chen returns with his highly anticipated new feature film after a hiatus of 9 years from his previous feature works. With its stunning blend of magical realism, MAMA BOY invites audiences to immerse themselves in a bittersweet and ambiguous exploration of human connections.

Xiao-hong, on the verge of turning 30, lives a highly regimented lifestyle with his mother and struggles to find confidence in interacting with women. One day, he encounters a mama-san named Lele, who is around the same age as his mother. Suddenly, an inexplicable deep affection ignites between the two. As they wander through dark alleyways under the starlight, their enigmatic connection is short-lived, disrupted by the interference and judgement of outsiders. Are they seeking true love, or are they two wandering souls yearning for solace and comfort?

屢獲柏林影展的 NETPAC 大獎和銀熊最佳短片獎等國際影展肯定的台裔美籍導演陳駿霖，睽違九年強勢回歸，帶來萬眾矚目的大銀幕新作品《初戀慢半拍》。以驚奇的敘事手法，描寫都市愛情中的酸甜苦辣。陳駿霖常以異想天開的點子和對人的細膩觀察，在寫實的都會場景裡，添加奇幻童趣的色彩。

靦腆呆萌的小洪（柯震東 飾）30歲在即，但是依舊母胎單。生活中唯一的重要女性只有過度保護兒子的控制狂媽媽（于子育 飾），卻因此使他缺乏自信和社交能力，親友安排的相親約會更是屢屢尷尬收場。然而在某次被帶去「轉大人」的路上，小洪意外遇到了媽媽桑樂樂姊（徐若瑄 飾），難以名狀愛情火花逐漸產生。這段姊弟戀是否能克服年齡及背景等外在干擾，成為雖然慢半拍，但來得剛剛好的速配真愛呢？
