North American Premiere

Two Indonesian poets meet at Tainan Park and take advantage of the day to write poetry. Inspired by their meeting and their conversation, the fruit of their labor comes to life at night in the form of songs, gestures and stories told in the moonlight. As the evening develops, they question the filmmaking project they are a part of, over the course of an astonishing experimental and meta film where nocturnal wanderings, the importance of slowing down and the art of speech itself — the beauty of Bahasa giving voice to foreign workers based in Taiwan — is paramount.
