aka Hei Yan Quan (black eye ring)
Rating: M18
After being attacked and robbed in Kuala Lumpur, the homeless Hsiao
Kang is taken in by some Bangladeshi workers. One of them, Rawang,
lets Hsiao Kang sleep beside him on an old mattress he has found.
As he nurses Hsiao Kangs wounded body, he feels calm and
contented. Is it because of the mattress or because of Hsiao Kang?
Chyi, who waits tables in a small coffee shop, is also nursing
someone: her lady bosss paralysed son. Chyi hates her life. When
she happens to meet Hsiao Kang, her body fills with lustful
desires. However, her difficulty in finding a place to have sex
with him brings home to her just how little freedom she has.
As Hsiao Kang slowly recovers, he finds himself caught between
Rawang and Chyi, pleading for attention like a stray cat but
equally capable of fluttering away as free as a moth. Chyis lady
boss also develops lustful feelings for Hsiao Kang, finding that he
resembles her paralysed son...
Meanwhile a heavy haze envelops the city that is so humid that it
reeks of the sweat of its multi-ethnic population. These men and
women and the old mattress lose their way in the haze, but perhaps
find each other
