In den letzten Tagen des Jahres 1999 ist fast jeder in Taiwan an einer seltsamen Plage gestorben, die die Insel verwüstete. Als es unerbittlich regnet, steckt ein einzelner Mann aufgrund eines nicht beendeten Klempnerjobs in einem Loch im Boden fest. Dies führt zu einer sehr seltsamen Beziehung mit der Frau, die unter ihm lebt.

6Was andere sagen
Human beings as bugs, packed tightly away, taking refuge along the musty crevices of existential solitude. All it takes is one person to reach out and pull us up from the depths of isolation to recapture the essence of what it means to be alive in this world; slow dancing to an old song with a perpetual downpour visible just beyond our windows, but inside these four walls, the sun is shining bright.
A shy romantic and a quiet slacker live in quarantine, secluded by rain and decay, almost alone, in a void. An accident gives them a glimpse of each other, and slowly but surely, through happenstance, continual observation, and occasional humanity, they eventually come together. There are so many strange ways you could take this film, but what stood out to me is the metaphor it illustrates for loneliness and the fear of personal connection. A disease keeps these two strangers isolated, but it also drives them together, with the ineptitude of a plumber helping that along. As they continually interact because of this hole left between their apartments, their relationship shifts. In the urban decay (in the case of the lower apartment, a literal sort of falling apart is going on), these two strangers only know each other from glimpses and forced interactions, necessitated by inconvenience.But interest strikes the upper apartment's inhabitant, and disease the lower. Ingenuity, perseverance, and imagination slowly draw them together.
