Description:
Robinson grew up in Taiwan and now works in real estate. With his parents and siblings all in the United States, he is left alone on the island and lives in a hotel. Life on his own is much simpler: apart from a suitcase of spare clothes, Robinson has only a small fish he has kept for years to keep him company.
Robinson throws all his energy into work. He runs his own economic company, specializing in integrated marketing for housing, and each of the few employees who work there has a story of their own. Show more His right-hand woman, Billie, is the strong-willed type, a top saleswoman in real estate who is always full of passion for both work and love. Xiulin always keeps to herself; her specialty is graphic design, and her colleagues know almost nothing about her private life beyond work. Robinson tries not to intrude on his employees' personal lives, but Billie and Xiulin seem to treat the taciturn Robinson as someone to confide in. They like to tell him their stories, and Robinson is happy to be a attentive listener when they need to talk.
Robinson's girlfriend, Vicky, often comes to see him at the hotel. Although Vicky always tries to give Robinson the feeling of home, for some reason Robinson never has the desire to be with her for the long term. Perhaps Robinson is just Robinson: he is destined to drift all his life and never stop for anyone.
Through the internet, Robinson discovers a small island that is up for sale. The mysterious island near Cuba instantly sparks Robinson's interest. Robinson decides to leave Taiwan with enough money and start a new life on that island, a life suited only to him, unlike anyone else's.
Highlights:
The film depicts a male protagonist who, in a fiercely competitive city, lives a seemingly glamorous life, yet his inner emotions drift with no anchor, having lost his ideals and direction. The film is directed by Taiwan's cutting-edge director Lin Cheng-Sheng, and its subject matter is rather heavy. Lin Cheng-Sheng won the Silver Bear at the 51st Berlin Film Festival for his representative work "Love You, Love You," and this film made a splash at that year's Cannes Film Festival. Taiwanese actress Yang Kuei-Mei, who plays Billie in the film, was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 39th Golden Horse Awards for her outstanding performance.
