Men without Women looking for BananaFish, Girl without Cat telling her Story
男人与女人，香蕉鱼的情意结
2016
Girl breaks up with Man. After 105 days and 12 hours, he departs for a place that reminds him of the early days in their relationship.
Meanwhile, the Girl goes back to Kyoto, looking for her past memory of a Thai admirer, who did not have the courage to approach her before, but left her a prologue of a story.
The Girl continues the story within her dream, of a novelist traveler who keeps heading east in order to meet a girl from the East.
The Girl refuses to wake up, as her dream might become reality, and she herself might become a dream.
