Witty, surreal tale about the after-effects of a water shortage in Taiwan. With TV stations advising the population to drink watermelon juice, Shiang-Chyi (Shiang-chyi Chen) finds her own solution by filling bottles in public toilets. She soon meets and falls for Hsiao-Kang (Kang-sheng Lee), a former street vendor, who has now progressed to porn actor, although she doesn't know that yet. With no plot to speak of, rather a succession of set pieces, the film manages to mix love, lust and outbursts of MGM-style musical campness into a daring, experimental whole.
