DramaRomance

When a young street vendor with a grim home life meets a woman on her way to Paris, they forge an instant connection. He changes all the clocks in Taipei to French time, as he watches François Truffaut's Les 400 Coups; she has a strange encounter with its now-aging star, Jean-Pierre Leaud.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective journey about fleeting connections and the universal ache of longing. It feels like a gentle, melancholic dream, exploring the spaces between people and the passage of time with a wistful, romantic gaze.
