A strange disease starts to affect people in Taiwan just before the year 2000. The authorities order everyone to evacuate, but some tenants of an apartment building stay put, including a shop owner who lives by himself. One day, a plumber goes to the shop owner's apartment to check the pipes. The plumber drills a small hole in the floor, which comes down through the ceiling of another apartment. The hole never gets repaired, and this leads to some tension between the shop owner and the woman who lives below him. Written by Patrick Lin
This bizarre surreal piece of madness occurs in a run down building where water and a hole between two apartments slowly drive the residents crazy as they approach the year 2000. Thrown into the kettle of madness are musical numbers, an escape root from reality for our two protagonist.
