(DVD, Fox Lorber)
Bored young adults in sprawling Taipei, Taiwan, each possess a key to an uninhabited luxury apartment. A suicidal, repressed homosexual steals the key when he finds it left in the door. He takes baths, pretends to bowl with a melon, cross dresses and masturbates when no one is around. A real estate agent, the only one with a reason to actually have a key, meets up with a stranger for sex, who later turns up in the apartment as well. They eventually all meet there at the same time for more kinky sex. A very slow, long, deliberate study of an emotionally disconnected modern Taiwanese society that will test the patience of even the most dedicated viewer.
