Plot summary
A run-down movie palace in Taipei, the Fu He Grand Theater has a leaking roof and dirty toilets, and just two full-time employees, a projectionist and a ticket attendant. The theater's final day brings a screening of King Hu's 1967 wuxia film Dragon Inn, with hardly anyone in the seats. The ticket attendant, who limps, carries a steamed bun along the corridors toward the projection room, but the projectionist is not there. A Japanese tourist moves between the auditorium and the men's toilets, hoping to meet someone.
