From acclaimed director Tsai Ming-Liang comes the quirky story of Hsiao Kang, who sells watches on the streets of Taipei. One day, he meets Shiang-chyi, a beautiful young woman leaving for Paris the next day. The encounter prompts Kang to run around setting all the watches and clocks in Taipei to Paris time, in an effort to bridge the distance between them. Back in Paris, Shiang-chyi witnesses events that seem mysteriously connected with Kang.
