The story of a toxic relationship between a couple of drug addicts in Taipei night. With an innovative aesthetic for the time, imported mainly from the universe of fashion and music videos, the film also features the beautiful and charismatic Shu Qi in the role of the protagonist, who oscillates between the passion for the jealous and destructive Hao-Hao and the mobster and enigmatic Jack.
The general tone is poetic, the aesthetics careful, although excessively centered on indoor nightlife in Taiwan and Japan. The film nevertheless fails to communicate with the viewer, who never truly gains empathy with the story or the characters.
