While the Women Are Sleeping

Late July in a glass-walled lobby, a single split-flap clock clicking 3:17 every time the numbers flip. An exhausted novelist watches his wife disappear into sunlit rooms while strange guests check in: a woman in red shoes who never speaks, another who folds towels into origami animals. Wayne Wang folds this quiet mystery into a chamber piece ripe for late-night screenings.
