Director Hou Hsiao-hsien's second feature reunites the co-stars of Cute Girl (1980) in a breezy, big-hearted and quirky rom-com. Assigned to photograph a television commercial in a provincial town, a female photographer is taken with the blind, non-professional performer who is made the subject of the ad campaign. The director makes resourceful use of verdant rural topography and hip music tracks to underscore the protagonists' unlikely bond.
