Women enter and exit a science fiction author's life over the course of a few years after the author loses the woman he considers his one true love.
The film's central subject matter revolves around personal themes of memory, loss, and the subjective experience of time and love, which are inherently apolitical. It does not engage with political discourse or advocate for any specific ideological viewpoint, focusing instead on the human condition.
The film features a culturally specific East Asian cast, which provides inherent diversity without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily explores themes of memory and relationships, and does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center on DEI themes.
The film subtly incorporates queer themes through the character of Wang Jing-wen, whose unrequited affection for a woman is depicted with the same melancholic dignity as other relationships. This aspect is neither central nor explicitly affirmed, but it is also not denigrated or stereotyped, contributing to her complex emotional landscape within the film's broader exploration of love and loss.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
