In the hazy years of her youth, 25-year-old Miea used to be surrounded by admirers, but she did not want love that was troublesome. She is dating a married man who was old enough to be her father. She lives on the top floor of an outmoded apartment that seems incompatible with her beauty and the fake flowers and petals that she uses to decorate her room. Her man Duan telephones, saying he forgot his watch. The phone rings again the next morning, and the watch was forgotten once more. Miea goes to a photo exhibition then returns home. She refuses to answer any more phones.
Relative to the flowery descriptions and the world in the near future described in the original work, the director uses sophisticated, experimental images to capture the novel’s simplicity and stability, and reconstructs a picture of time and space through ingenious mise-en-scène.
