Vietnamese migrant workers who are illegally staying in Taiwan, sitting around drinking and chatting with each other while making bonfires in the deep mountains. “Đoàn” ignores his colleague's call and lies alone in a tent. Meanwhile, one of the undercover police officers to arrest them describes a strange animal he witnessed. The next day, Đoàn was arrested with a head wound received while carrying a stolen tree. He escaped and hide from the police while they were negligent. The police, who were searching, found something and walked inside with the flashlight off. Đoàn opens his eyes in his tent in a good condition, followed by the same scene repeated of drinking in front of a bonfire. This time Đoàn is sitting together. In the deep night, he walks in the forest as if possessed and stops in front of a moving animal waving grass. Đoàn and the police are closely connected by encountering mysterious experience with unknown lives in a collapsed time and pitch-black space. Migrants and non-immigrants gain homogeneity beyond hostility as subjects who stare and sense the same object. (KIM Kyung-tae)
