Puppets

Synopsis

Wei-Lun is a senior high school student in Taipei. His daily life revolves around school, cram school, and home—or he’s on the way between these places. The only time he can catch his breath is during that short break between school and cram school, when he sneaks off to an internet café. He doesn't take exams very seriously, nor has he ever thought deeply about anything. He simply drifts through each day, living a monotonous and unchanging routine. The future seems distant and unreal. As long as he's with his friends, it feels like these youthful days will go on forever—doesn’t it?
