On Mother’s Day, Chen Mo stops at a pastry shop to buy dessert for him and his wife, only to find his car blocked in by a double-parked car. As Chen Mo searches for the car’s owner in the nearby apartment building, he dives deeper and deeper into a noir wonderland full of eccentric strangers and secret lives. In a single evening of chance meetings, conversations, and conflicts, Chen Mo uncovers the inner experiences and psychological worlds of both himself and other characters, each looking for a way out. Poignant and darkly humored, ironic and blunt, Parking blends together the flavors of a detective story, an action movie, and a noir film as it dissects the subjects of family, sex, and money in contemporary Taiwanese society.
