Au Revoir Taipei

The film begins with the departure of Kai's girlfriend Faye. He parks himself in a bookstore to learn French the stingy way, and catches the eye of shop assistant Susie. His break comes when a gangster Bao offers him a ticket to Paris in exchange for "courier delivery." The pot heats up the night before Kai leaves, when Bao's nephew Hong tries to pull off a slick crime that drags Kai, Susie and two bungling cops into two hours of adventure and a farcical surprise resolution. When the dawn comes, Kai discovers who his true love is.
