Heart broken and tortured by insomnia Ben apply for a job at the supermarket explaining his view and experience of female beauty. In his imagination he stops time and undress female customers to capture their beauty on paper between the pranks of his male co-workers. Time comes to pass and the girl in the cash register seen to grow in beauty in Bens eyes giving him a chance to let go of the past and move forward in life.
The movie is about love, art and supermarket co-workers and shows an interesting view of time and time stopping.The most obvious art in the movie might be the one of drawing, capturing beauty, but the red thread in the story is the path between one lost relation and the passionate flames of new love and the feelings it conquers.
actually i ve seen this film last year, and it also made me want to go back to my high school life, just drawing everyday, not much things bother me. i even went to Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to draw something i like or i wanted to catch...
the nicest thing is i can do whatever i want, live safely and well. and more important is that i still could find how lucky i am. all the things around me are about art and music. what a wonderful thing...
but im wondering why this film didnt on for cinema in taiwan, is really the reason that too many naked girls in film? or most people dont know how to see the art and emotion through this film? if that was the reason. thats a pity.
