The Wayward Cloud

The opening scene shows a spread eagled girl with a watermelon between her legs. A man appears and starts to finger fuck the melon and the girl responds appropriately. And so you are welcomed to yet another strange Ming-liang Tsai film. His muse Hsaio-kang (Kang-sheng Lee) and Shiang-chyi (Shiang-chyi Chen) reprise their roles from What Time Is It There?. Hsaio has stopped selling watches and is now a porn star. Taipei that Shiang returns to is one hit with a drought and watermelons are the answer to everything. The film will now act as a personal reminder to never pick another Ming-liang Tsai film, irrespective of how interesting the synopsis reads.
