Afterword

Chou Yuan, a faded writer from Taipei, now clears out vacated apartments for a living. One day, he unknowingly enters his own former flat, the place he left nine years ago when his lover, Chi Chi, headed to New York without a word. There, he finds an undeveloped roll of film and his unfinished manuscript. The photos reveal Chi Chi’s face, now barely remembered, and stir something unresolved. Determined to find closure, Chou Yuan travels to New York in search of both Chi Chi and the ending to his long-abandoned novel. While posting flyers, he meets Jane, a documentary filmmaker drawn to his story. She proposes filming his search in exchange for his help navigating the city.
