Tangerine owns a super-large freezer like those in supermarkets. It was fully stocked and well organized. She wrote novels, and a story about a man named Ant. She included herself and her roommate Hsiao-mei in the story. Ant was actually Hsiao-mei’s boyfriend, who was always cheating on her, causing Hsiao-mei to leave. Tangerine sought out Ant and dated him, so that she could suffer the pain of his cheating for Hsiao-mei’s sake. By doing so, she thought Hsiao-mei would come back.
The movie locates the novel’s first person narration in Ant, a character about whom Tangerine is writing, while WANG also focuses on four short stories out of the eight in the original novel, Bing Xiang (Refrigerator), to condense and highlight its cold and lonely world.
