En un tiempo de fuerte escasez de agua, los espacios televisivos se dedican a instruir acerca de los diversos métodos para ahorrarla al tiempo que promueven la ingestión de zumo de sandía en su lugar. Sin embargo, todo el mundo tiene sus propias soluciones cuando se trata de encontrar agua. Shiang-Chyi coge botellas vacías y las llena con agua robada de los aseos públicos; mientras tanto, Hsiao-Kang, ahora actor pornográfico, trepa al tejado en plena noche para bañarse con el agua que pueda lograr en los depósitos. La supervivencia es dura, pero todavía lo es más soportar la soledad. Cada uno de nosotros es una nube silente, que pende solitaria sin jamás tocar a los otros. Cierto día, Shiang-Chyi halla una sandía y más tarde se encuentra a Hsiao-Kang en el parque. Ella recuerda que le había comprado un reloj de pulsera. No le había visto desde aquella transacción, y se pregunta qué está haciendo en su inmueble. Se enamoran. Francia Taiwan
