This mysterious love story set in Hamburg and the beautifully depicted Taipei follows German artist Sophie as she comes to terms with her Taiwanese lover Ai-Ling’s murder. Travelling to Taipei to exhibit a video installation dedicated to Ai-Ling, Sophie meets the ambitious and seductive journalist Mei-Li who turns out to be not all that she seems. Intimately shot with excellent use of location shooting in the two countries, Treut’s return to narrative after a decade in documentary work is a moving love story which questions and explores the differences between East and West.
