Tsai Ming-Liang, one of today's most significant auteur directors, presents an award-winning film that uniquely portrays survival on the streets of Taipei. On the city's outskirts, a father works a temporary job carrying advertising billboards through the streets, while his children spend their days roaming instead of attending school. The film adopts a minimalist approach to depict the daily life of this family, exposing the harshness of city life for the dispossessed. In the film, the city almost acts as a character in its own right, where we witness how lost and neglected the characters feel amidst Taipei's relentless rains and dilapidated buildings on the verge of urban decay.
