After Spider Lilies , up-and-coming Taiwan director Zero Chou continues to explore the heartstrings and heartaches of lesbian love in her latest film Drifting Flowers . Jumping through multiple time periods in a deliberate blurring of past and present, the film is split into three episodes, telling intertwining tales of love, separation, and reunion in a uniquely Taiwan landscape of puppet theater shows and Taiwanese-dialect lounge ballads. Without the big names and glossy stylings of Spider Lilies and Candy Rain , Drifting Flowers comes with less baggage and more ambition, striking chords with a delicately woven narrative, sensitive characterizations, and admirable performances from the film's ensemble cast. In a provincial town of yesteryear, blind lounge singer Jing (Serena Fang) and her eight-year-old sister May (Pai Chih Ying) both fall for androgynous sax player Diego (Chao Yi Lan), causing an unexpected riff in the sisters' relationship. Middle-aged HIV-positive gay man Yen (Sam Wang) and his Alzheimer's-stricken lesbian wife Lily (Lu Yi Ching) share house after years of estrangement, resulting in gentle bickering and comedic gender-bending when Lily mistakes Yen for her late partner. Flashing back to the past again, a teenaged Diego struggles with her sexuality amid a budding romance with Lily (Herb Hsu) and growing discord with her family.
