Dust in the Wind

In the 1960s mining town of Jio-fen, Wan (Chien-wen Wang) and Jiang Suyun (Hsin Shu-Fen) grow up next door, and everyone assumes they will end up together. Hou Hsiao-hsien follows them to Taipei, where he works as an apprentice by day and studies at night school, and she takes a job as a helper at a tailor's shop. Wan keeps close to her through the long city days, sure that what the two of them share will hold.
