It’s a film of before and after isolation, implying the ways that unexpected connection can both blessedly break a pattern of routinized loneliness and create a new, perhaps more painful form of longing through its absence.

In Hong Kong, Kang wanders through a lonely urban landscape and seeks treatment for a chronic illness. At the same time, Non, a young Laotian immigrant working in Bangkok, goes about his daily routine. These two solitary men eventually come together in a moment of healing and tenderness.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
The Hollywood Reporter by Deborah Young
By using uneventful long takes to slow down daily activities like cooking and showering, Tsai highlights little more than their banal, repetitive nature.
Slant Magazine by Diego Semerene
Reciprocity might be impossible in a world rigged against queerness, Tsai seems to say, which doesn’t mean that certain things can't still be shared.
In a film lasting a shade over two hours, consisting of just 46 separate shots, the undisputed emperor of Taiwanese slow cinema crafts a ravishing, wordless story of urban loneliness.
