However, we find in it lots of elements of Tsai´s universe, including Lee Kang-sheng playing the dog which eats the moon. Note how the title (《月亮不見了》) echoes that of the short film The Skywalk is Gone (《天橋不見了》), shot a year later. The story is set during the Moon Festival, with many references to this festivity and its mythology.
