What happens

是台灣演員李康生執導的第一部電影作品，由蔡明亮監製。本片獲得鹿特丹影展最大獎「老虎獎」和釜山影展最大獎「新潮流獎」，並獲得金馬獎包含最佳劇情片在內的四項提名。 爺爺（苗天飾）買回孫子最愛吃的早餐燒餅油條之後，人間蒸發，只留下滿地撕成條狀的報紙碎片。孫子因為爺爺的「失蹤」，心情不好，終日沉浸在網咖的電玩世界。另一方面，阿嬤（陸弈靜飾）帶著三歲的孫子小奕到公園玩，沒想到才因拉肚子上個廁所，孫子就不見了。阿嬤詢問了遊戲區的孩子、家長，經過的路人，向社區管理中心、警察局求助，都沒有找著。焦急的阿嬤打電話給兒子，沒有接通，情急之下，跳上路人的機車就要路人帶她去找孫子，甚至還到靈骨塔燒香請求過世的先生幫忙。故事最後，找爺爺的孫子，找孫子的阿嬤，在公園交會......
