Vicky remembers her romantic encounters and mismatches in the capital of Taiwan, in her times of discovery and learning. Vicky's story is the story of many women around the world, who are trapped in a toxic and abusive relationship, but they can't get rid of it. The characters are basic (in terms of development), but thanks to the very natural interpretations they are credible. The film is narrated by the main character (Vicky), roughly 10 years after the events, but with a different tone than what we see in action, which shows her maturity, and an adult look at her old choices, of a lifetime of decay and vices, but that choice sometimes cuts the surprise of what we will see next, becoming predictable. I found the choice of plans, wide and full most of the time, interesting, given to the viewer the sensation that we are sneaking and watching their lives all the time, and that we are part of the story.
