The movie was featured at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival.In a small lazy southern Taiwan port town, two lonely youths are desperate to escape their drab existence. The first half of the movie is humorous at times, with the child Ahgui seemingly intent on being killed or maimed. Her father brings home naked mannequins in his drunken stupor, to replace the wife who left him. Ahguis world has always been different, and the adults around her dont know why. Her grandmother takes her to see a local shaman to find out why. The shaman says her spirit has gone, but it will return when she grows up. To Ahgui the world is black, gray, and white and full of constant frustration. Testing at her school finally determines that she is completely color blind. ........
