What happens

Westgate Tango (simplified Chinese: 西门町; traditional Chinese: 西門町; pinyin: Xi men ding) is a 2012 Taiwanese romance drama film starring Dylan Kuo, Amber An, Hong Kong actor Anthony Wong, Denny Tsao, Jett Lee and Japanese director actor Toyoharu Kitamura. Directed and written by notable film critic Wei Wang. This is the feature directorial debut by Wang Wei. The film is set in Taipei's trendy Ximending district, best known for its mix of alternative lifestyles, youth fashion and the antimony of adolescent life, and provides an upbeat story of damaged young people finding their purpose in life. The films upbeat tone may appeal to some, but the complexity of the background is obliterated by stereotypes. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
