Developed from his short film Mei, Bay Area-bred Arvin Chen’s feature debut explores Taipei at night. The film follows the lovelorn Kai (Jack Yao), recently dumped by his girlfriend Faye, who has left for Paris. Devastated, Kai parks himself on the floor of a local bookstore to learn French on the cheap. There he meets Susie (Amber Kuo), the shopkeeper who expresses an interest in the brokenhearted boy.

Enticed by the idea of surprising his ex in Paris, Kai takes out a loan from a retiring gangster, Bao (Frankie Gao), who in return asks Kai to retrieve a unexplained package. But only if it were that easy. Bao’s gangster wannabe nephew, Hong (Lawrence Ko), cooks up a haphazard scheme to intercept the package, unaware that the police already have their eyes on the entire operation, thus sending Kai and Susie in an adventure through the cityscape of Taipei.

As a second generation Asian American making films in Asia, Arvin romanticizes this distant city for the pleasure of the audience, resulting in a fantasy-esque romantic comedy that is bubbling with cuteness.
