The Hole: Just before the year 2000, a strange disease spread by cockroaches begins to affect the people of Taiwan. Even with orders to evacuate, tenants of an apartment building decide to stay, including a single shop owner. When a plumber visits the shop owner’s apartment to check the pipes, he accidentally drills a small hole into the floor of the apartment. This hole leads to the ceiling of another apartment, causing tension and unique interactions enacted in musical numbers with the woman living below him. View the trailer here.
