Someone in the Clouds

Hsiao-pei carries on her family’s fortune telling tradition, almost exclusively giving young women love advice. She also runs her college’s tarot club through which she meets the playfully cocky Chiung-nan, who uses the cards to ask her out. A rocky romance ensues, replete with a clumsy seduction, an unexpected fire and both figurative and literal ball busting.

Directed by Gary Tseng, Lin Ming-chien, Someone in the Clouds leans on a strong ensemble — Tsai Chen-nan, Austin Lin, Phoebe Huang — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2019.
