Miao Miao

Produced by Wong Kar Wai's Jet Tone Films, Miao Miao gently explores the trials of young love and longing.

Miao Miao is a shy exchange student from Japan. Struggling to adjust to her new life in Taipei, she finally opens up after one of her female classmates Ai, an extroverted and charming girl, becomes increasingly enamoured of her new friend. Unaware of Ai's confused feelings, Miao Miao falls for the brooding CD shopowner Chen Fei, a young guy with a secret past who seems determined to block out everything and everyone with a pair of headphones playing nothing.

Miao Miao makes it her mission to win him over and uncover whatever past sadness has led him to hate music. As Miao Miao becomes more captivated by Chen Fei, Ai realizes that her own feelings for the Japanese girl are intensifying.

Miao Miaois a coming-of-age drama that brings into the spotlight contemporary Taipei and the rapidly evolving social mores of a country that has consistently delivered some of the best queer cinema in Asia.
