Rui-Ming Band
Synopsis
The abandoned farmhouse beside Shuangxi outside Taipei seems to be wandering on the edge of the city. This is the base of Ruiming Band. During the day, these people have their own identities. The lead guitarist Zheng Zhaoting (Abo) is in the daycare class, the bassist Yang Dongliang (Dong Niang) is a photojournalist, the drummer Han Ligang has no specific job, and the rhythm guitar player Dai Chongyuan (Senior) drives a taxi. Every night on holiday, they come here to rehearse. With their dreams of music, they relieve their discomfort with society. Can music be a meal? Is there any other meaning to life besides making money? The director fell into this fog with them, revealing nihilistic yet true confessions.
