Dr Du is a Taiwanese eye doctor who takes out a personal ad to hopefully meet a future husband.
We share Du's journey as she meets an assortment of would be suitors. Some can be funny-a salesman who meets up with her because he wants to sell her self defense items, including one that shoots dye in a hilarious scene. Some are weird-a shoe fetishist just wants her to try on shoes for him. Some are sleazy-a pimp merely wants her to be part of his prostitution ring. Some are sad-a mother brings her sheltered son because he cannot cope with the outside world.
Dr Du is lonely and looking for love due to a broken romance with a married man. She is only able to reveal her true feelings by leaving messages on his answering machine, though they go unanswered.
This is a sometimes heart breaking film, though well worth seeking out if you are looking for something realistic and raw in emotion. Rene Liu is excellent in the lead, her big expressive eyes and shy, awkward smile tell the whole story. A little seen film that deserves to be sought out.
