Plot
The film tells two parallel stories, one about the life of a street vendor (Lee) following the death of his father; the other about a woman he meets briefly (Chen) as she heads off on a trip of uncertain duration to Paris.
Lee’s character, who sells watches on the streets of Taipei, sells his own watch to Chen and then finds himself overcome by a desire to set every clock he sees to Paris time.
Jean-Pierre Léaud, the lead actor in François Truffaut’s The 400 Blows and actor in many other classic films, has a cameo appearance in this film.
