Ido

Summary A man known as the "Murderer" wanders through the woods. The sound of water flowing deep underground fills his head. Within the sound of the subterranean water flowing through the "id", the realm of the subconscious mind, the "Voice of Someone" becomes audible. The man emerging from the woods was captivated by that voice, engulfed in a raging storm and carried along by the swollen waters of a river until picked up and taken to a small steel factory in a town near the river. In front of that factory, which adjoins a pig farm, an ancient water course has been sealed with a giant spigot. The man is resonant with the "id" water sounds of that sealed water course. Before long, incidents gradually begin to occur that affect the frugal occupants of the factory, until one morning they discover the body of the head of the factory, who has been beaten to death. The perpetrator is a female employee of the factory, and in fact it was her voice that had beckoned that man there. The hatred and sadness that those two had resonated in the realm of the "id" brings about the appearance of the "Humanhog" monster, which emits a rotten stench. Around that time, as if summoned by destiny, the ex-Detective that has been pursuing that man finally arrives in that factory town. View more details

E nu lie zhuan

E nu lie zhuan

This is a collection of three films by emerging Taiwanese directors all revolving around the theme of strong, young women involved in mayhem of some sort. In all of them the theme of alienation within the crowded streets of Taiwan runs strong. "Queen of the Bench" (Yao-Ting Wen dir.) Li Li is an extra who longs for her big break as an actress. In the meantime she spends much of her time shoplifting and trying to find creative ways to break into the big time. After pestering a director and ambushing him in the parking lot to get a part, she gets the call and shows up ready to be a star. Will this really be her chance or is she being exploited? "My Own Personal Gun" (Jing-Jie Lin dir.) Ah-Tsai is wasting her life with drugs, hanging out with losers and small time crooks. One day she passes out in front of a young cop who falls for her in a big way. He makes excuses to run into her and she doctors his drink. He wakes up to find she has stolen his gun and she leads him on a wild goos chase to retrieve it. While he runs all over the city looking for it, the gun is still in her possession. Will she use it to spiral even further down into oblivion? "A Dog from Hong Kong" (Ying-Yu Chan dir.) A recent Immigrant from HK brings along his pet doggy who promptly becomes lost. He is heart-broken and sets up fliers everywhere to find him. In the mean time, two women find the little pup and take him in. When one of the girls meets the owner and sees his fliers, she decides to play a trick on him. She and her friend dye the dog a different color and ask him to take care of it for awhile. What will happen if he discovers the trick?
