7.2 / 10 · TMDB

Freshly discharged from the hospital after a surfing mishap, Sean encounters an enigmatic girl at a party. Her name is Emily, and she captivates him with an aura of otherworldliness. She soon confesses her deepest secret: she sustains herself solely on nail clippers. Bewildered yet smitten, Sean resolves to aid her in a madcap venture—opening a bar for fellow 'clipper-eaters.' His reality tilts on its axis as he's drawn into her bizarre universe, where devotion is measured by one's willingness to suspend disbelief for the sake of connection.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film walks a tightrope between absurdist comedy and tender romantic fable, using its fantastical premise as a metaphor for embracing the other. It probes how far faith in a loved one can stretch, even when their truth defies logic.

What lingers after the credits is a surprisingly poignant reflection on devotion. The story becomes less about the literal diet and more about the peculiarities we choose to believe in for the sake of connection. — MovieFinder Editorial

A surreal Hong Kong palette, tinged with neon glow and the feeling of an urban fairy tale.
