The musical 52-hertz, I Love You, directed by Wei Te-sheng from Taiwan, and starring Sandrine Pinna and Fan Yichen, will be released on the Chinese mainland on June 16.
Wei is widely known for his films Cape No. 7 (2007) and Seediq Bale (2011).
Wei's latest film is about loneliness and the lack of love.
Wei used two animals to represent different types of people in the city: a cat and a whale.
"The subject is too simple for a film. So I made a musical," Wei says in a promotion video.
"This musical is like dessert," Wei says.
"Once the atmosphere has got you, you will leave the theater humming."
