Everyday at 3 p.m., I'll fall in love with you...
In the past few years, Taiwan cinema has seen the gradual emergence of young, talented directors like Leste Chen, Zero Chou, Lin Yu Hsien, Robin Lee, and Wu Mi Sen, and now we can add Zheng Fen Fen to that list. The Golden Bell-winning television screenwriter/director's debut feature, Keeping Watch, tells a pondering, picturesque tale of romance, loneliness, and healing in a lazy rural town. Like the works of Zheng's contemporaries, Keeping Watch is a fusion of youth romance and arthouse melancholy delivered by a very photogenic cast. Doll-faced model Haden Kuo makes an impressive acting debut, and Eternal Summer heartthrob Joseph Chang charms as a sensitive young man suffering from schizophrenia, effectively bringing out the two different sides of his character.

Moody loner Ching (Haden Kuo) runs a clock shop in a small town where time passes slowly and life stands still. One day, a tongue-tied bespectacled young man, Han (Joseph Chang), shows up to get his watch fixed. Like clockwork, everyday he comes at the same time to get the same watch fixed. Obviously holding a torch for Ching, Han tells her that they are former classmates, and a hesitant romance forms between the two odd, lonely souls. What Ching doesn't know, however, is that Han is actually a mental asylum patient. Every morning he wakes up as cool and bristly Yu, but at 3 p.m. he becomes the awkward and insecure Han who seeks out Ching.
