At a train station floating in the clouds, a mysterious red tail catches a boy’s attention. Chasing the red tail, the boy travels through countless magical places, runs into bizarre creatures, and finally encounters a gentleman, who seems to know his secrets more than he does. When the red tail reminds the boy of his own memories and sadness, what secrets are hidden behind, and where will they lead him next? Inspired by Wang’s same-named comic story, the mysterious red tail leads viewers on a magical journey, creating a poetic metaphor for our childhood memories.

Tsai Ming-Liang, the Taiwanese maestro of slow cinema, doesn’t have a real “missing picture,” but what he does have are childhood memories, memories so vivid they've been impossible to translate into film. In this episode, he shows us why this is the case in a moving tribute to his grandparents, who took him to see two movies every night during the sixties in Malaysia.
