Synopsis

In an age of severe water shortage, everyone has their own solutions. Shiang-chyi picks up empty bottles and fills them with water stolen from public toilets while Hsiao-kang, now a porn actor, climbs to the rooftop to bathe with what little water he can find in the water storage tanks. One day, Shiang-chyi finds a watermelon and later meets Hsiao-kang. She remembers buying a watch from him before and has no idea what he is now doing at her building. This 4K restoration brings out the contrast between the silent, dark scenes in the urban jungle and the cheerful, colorful musical interludes that repeatedly interrupt the story and function as ironic commentary.
