Night-shift security guard 36649 is a model employee who will be dismissed on New Year’s Day. On the very same day, street light 36649 is to be removed. Dismayed by the prospect of losing his soulmate, human 36649 reaches out to street light 36649 through a mysterious phone number, and is invited to a local-global journey amid the pandemic. A journey of the two 36649s unfolds as they travel around the world filled with wonders, which is also a voyage of self-discovery for human 36649. A loving tribute to WONG Kar-wai, the short is stylised and loaded with references to the beloved director of Hong Kong.
