美人圖
overview
A rural youth, Lin, works as a janitor at an airline in Taipei while attending night school to learn English. He shares a flat with Guo, who makes a fortune catering to Japanese clients. To fund his brother's wedding, Lin borrows from his company. When his father urgently arrives in Taipei seeking money, can Lin resolve his father's concerns? The narrative critiques society's infatuation with foreign ideals and exposes the darker sides of human nature.
