Taipei Exchanges (2010)

第36個故事

Doris simply wanted to open a refined, stylish coffee shop in a bohemian Taipei neighborhood, but when she's stuck with a load of useless gifts from the opening celebration, her younger sister Josie turns the café into a burgeoning bartering business. There, even a soulful song (by Japanese singer Atari Kosuke in a cameo) is a tradable commodity. One day, a traveler brings in 35 soaps from around the world with a story for each of them, awakening Doris' imagination about the outside world that she has never seen.

Anecdotes

Taipei Exchanges is a 2010 Taiwanese comedy film directed by Hsiao Ya-chuan and starring Gwei Lun-mei and Zaizai Lin.

Production

The film was invested in part by Taipei tourism bureau.

Director Hsiao Ya-chuan said that he got inspiration for Doris's character when he visited a coffee shop in Shanghai, where he witnessed a French girl with short hair devoting "her full attention to making desserts at the counter".

Doris’ Coffee Shop, the coffee shop featured in the film, was built completely from scratch in an old apartment on Fujin Street in Taipei. It later became a real coffee shop after the shooting of the film.
