The Big Cheat

Li Zhen rents an apartment in Taipei, working night shifts as a delivery courier. His life is an endless cycle of staircases, perpetually broken elevators, and customers leaving bizarre reviews. One evening, he delivers a package to an old house on the city's outskirts and meets a woman who claims she can see the 'world's illnesses.' From that moment, his delivery routes begin to shift in the most unexpected ways. A 2026 dark comedy about modern urban isolation, where absurdity becomes the only norm. The director examines the edges of reality through the lens of the gig economy, crafting a world where logic has surrendered to algorithmic quirks and human peculiarities. The narrative balances farce and melancholy, offering a perspective on a society where human connection exists only through screens and delivery services.
