"Rat" and his elder gay brother, Shang He, live in an old house on the fringe of Taipei City. The two brothers look for jobs to survive while searching for themselves and long for a foothold in life. The younger works at a market where he meets a mute woman who gets up to all sorts of craziness. The elder is attracted to a nightclub dancer and finds himself drawn into shifty business. With the rhythm of their wanderings, the film observes its protagonists' lives in limbo, without fixed coordinates, and evolves into the panorama of a society that does not appear to welcome its next generation.

The very depressing film surprised me considering I am not used to this topic from Taiwan. Full of alcohol and drunken stupor (mother, as if deranged younger son Rat), cigarettes, then disability (prostitute Ya Ba), dysfunctional families. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the acting was probably the strongest point of the film (already mentioned, but also the elder son of Shanghe, Ren Shuo). I also didn't mind the sound-music. Processing was the worst for me. I understand that the creators wanted to "darken" the sex scene between Shangh and Shue a bit, but half of the scenes in the movie are so darkened that it hurt my eyes, so I think, not this movie again, at least as a demonstration of very solid acting. Taiwanese Chinese is spoken in the movie and not Mandarin.


Hodně depresivní film mě překvapil na poměry, kdy nejsem na toto téma z Taiwanu zvyklý. Plno alkoholu a opileckého otupění (matka, jakoby pomatený mladší syn Rat), cigaret, dále zdravotní postižení (prostitutka Ya Ba), nefunkční rodiny. Přesto herecké výkony byly dle mě asi tou nejsilnější stránkou filmu (už dříve vyjmenovaní, ale i starší syn Shanghe, Ren Shuo). Rovněž zvuk-hudba mi nevadil. Zpracování bylo pro mě nejhorší. Chápu, že tvůrci chtěli trošku "ztmavit" sexuální scénu mezi Shanghem a Shuem, ale takto ztmavených scén je ve filmu polovina až mě z toho bolely oči a tak si říkám, tento film příště už ne, max. jako ukázku velmi solidního herectví. Ve filmu se mluví taiwanskou čínštinou a ne mandarínštinou.
