Plot:	After being robbed and left for dead, a homeless man is taken in and nursed by an immigrant worker and a waitress in a run-down old coffee shop. Simultaneously erotic and comical, the film underpins deadpan allegory with social realism.
Overview:	Directed by Tsai Ming-Liang (THE WAYWARD CLOUD, VIVE L`AMOUR). Homeless on the streets of Kuala Lumpur, Hsiao Kang is robbed, beaten and left for dead; he is found and nursed by Rawang, an immigrant worker, who lives in the shell of a modernist building abandoned during construction. Rawang`s feelings for his patient may or may not be sexual, but there`s definitely something like lust in the eyes of Chyi, a waitress in a run-down old coffee shop, when they light upon the recovering Hsiao Kang. And so a triangle forms as a blanket of noxious fog settles on the city and everyone has trouble breathing. Simultaneously erotic and comical, the film underpins director Tsai`s deadpan allegory with hints of social realism.
