Liao Ming-Yi’s long-awaited follow-up to I WeirDO continues to reveal contemporary people’s eccentricities and abnormalities in various forms. A man believes he has found the love of his life when he meets a girl who seems to be the right kind of quirky. However, when her terrifyingly controlling personality eventually surfaces, he makes a desperate choice. Once again shooting entirely on iPhone, Liao boldly takes digital filmmaking to a new frontier with this visually and thematically captivating drama about the futility of obsessing over perfection in modern love.
