“Fruity, juicy and spicy.”

ComedyDramaRomance

Hsiao-Kang, now working as an adult movie actor, meets Shiang-chyi once again. Meanwhile, the city of Taipei faces a water shortage that makes the sales of watermelons skyrocket.

VIBE

A dreamlike, melancholic dive into urban ennui. It feels like a surreal, quiet rainstorm in a city grappling with its own thirst, both literal and metaphorical. A strangely beautiful, off-kilter experience.
