Wei Wang

Feature debut by notable film critic Wang Wei. The film takes Taipei’s trendy Ximending district, best known for its mix of alternative lifestyles, youth fashion and the antimony of adolescent life, and provides an upbeat story of damaged young people finding their purpose in life. The film’s upbeat tone may appeal to some, but the complexity of the background is obliterated by rom-com stereotypes.

A series of events that seem to be a long-term curse worries TANG Yu and LI Wu-qing: the secret underground laboratory on the island, and the accidental deaths related to it 14 years ago, plus the fact that the two deceased died in the place of ancient legends. However, among the people trapped on the island by the typhoon, there are more secrets surging like sea water, ready to be revealed.
