No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti (English title: Cannot Live Without You)^[1] is a 2009 Taiwanese film directed by Leon Dai, a professional Taiwanese actor. It was his second film as a director. This film was also selected as the official entry for 82nd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. Dai also acted as the co-screenwriter and editor of the film.

No Puedo Vivir Sin Ti was filmed entirely in black and white in digital format, then transferred to film for distribution. The film has a somewhat unconventional structure, beginning at the halfway point. It is based on a true story.

Plot

The story concerns a poor Hakka dock worker Li Wu Hsiung fighting to reclaim the custody of his seven-year-old girl. Unsuccessful and clinging to the faithful daughter, he threatens to jump off a bridge.

As the movie progresses, Li (played by the movie's co-screenwriter and first-time actor Chen Wen Pin) gets embroiled in bureaucratic red tape and does all he can to get his daughter back from government institutional care.
