Synopsis

The Sandwich Man follows the story of a man who gets paid to pose as walking billboards for a local movie theater in order to provide for his family with his humble wage. Realizing that his baby boy couldn't recognize him without his clown make-up from work, he decides to stay in his work costume at home, filling the role of a big model figure for his son.

Meanwhile, two salesmen set out to sell pressure cookers in a rural area, where the locals show little interest in such a fancy yet unnecessary invention. As they struggle to get their business going, one salesman notices a pretty girl who always wears a hat and wonders why she does so.

On another front, a blue-collar worker and father of several young children is seriously injured in a car accident, for which a U.S. military officer stationed in Taiwan is responsible as the driver. Instructed to deliver a generous compensation to the victim and his family as a gesture of goodwill, the officer brings apples for the injured worker's family to enjoy by his hospital bed.

As if the taste of apples were a taste of heaven, this satirical short film concludes the three-part anthology that sets out to explore themes such as exploitation, suffering, and inequality in the context of Taiwan's struggles towards modernity.
