Drunk

Set against the vibrant backdrop of Taipei's nightlife, 'Drunk' is a tender and achingly honest Taiwanese short film that dives headfirst into the tangled mess of friendship, longing, and blurred boundaries. We follow two best friends: one outgoing and impulsive, the other quiet and introspective. Their bond is unshakeable—they finish each other’s sentences, know each other’s secrets, and rely on one another for emotional survival. But as they share deeper conversations, fleeting touches, and a few too many drinks, the line between platonic devotion and romantic desire begins to dissolve. What starts as a playful exploration of dependency slowly reveals the quiet pain of unspoken feelings and the fear of losing the one person who truly understands you. Director James Jing crafts an intimate, slow-burn portrait of two souls navigating the terrifying question: 'Is it love, or just habit?' With naturalistic performances, a moody color palette, and a poignant ending that lingers long after the credits roll, 'Drunk' is a must-watch for anyone who believes that the most profound love stories often start with 'I don’t want to lose you.'
