One hot afternoon, at a laundromat in Taipei, a woman is crying and waiting for someone. Suddenly, a man comes by with his laundry, drinking tea. His laundry includes a stuffed pig. Surprisingly, she also has one. This is nothing more than a meeting by chance for him, but, for her, it may change her life.
Tokyo University of the Arts
A laundromat in Taipei. A crying woman and a man talking to each other. The world of improvisation is captured by a one-camera fixed-point camera. It may be the most innovative of this year’s NARA-wave productions. It is your sensibility that discovers the story in the film.
