What happens

Help Me, Eros (Chinese: 幫幫我，愛神) is the second film from director Lee Kang-sheng, following his directorial debut in 2003, The Missing. The film centers on the lives of three socially isolated characters – the newly unemployed Ah Jie (Lee Kang-sheng), the call center counsellor he depends on for support, Chyi (Jane Liao), and Shin (Ivy Yin), one of the team of provocatively dressed girls employed in selling betel nuts and cigarettes to passing customers at a street kiosk below his apartment.
