We see their backstories during flashbacks, and see some sort of love blooming in the modern world of tawdry entertainment, detached emotions and capitalist consumption.
Very well written and acted, a stronger story would have heightened the impact, but it's Wang's style not to have the narrative jump from A to B like a Hollywood action movie, so it'd be a Godsend to some, a sleeping pill for others.
