The story of “Taipei Suicide Story” is fairly straightforward.
In a suicide hotel, a receptionist named Zhi-Hao (Tender Huang) works all by himself, day and night. And every day, he encounters hopeless people checking in the place, as well as workers in protective suits transporting corpses out of the rooms.
One of the workers informed him one day that a girl staying in room 602 violated their company policy for staying more than a day. When the receptionist confronts Jun-Ting (Vivian Sung), the girl in the room, she tells him that she, too, intends to die like others. But staying at the hotel makes her feel less lonely. Now she is conflicted if she even wants to die. Zhi-Hao responds, "If you can't kill yourself tonight, then please leave tomorrow morning. Or I'll call the police."
Later that day, the two ran into each other again. Zhi-Hao apologized for his harshness, but Jun-Ting said it was fine. At that point, it is clear that the two are starting to form a fleeting bond. However, as they spend the rest of the day together, the gravity of Jun-Ting’s decision becomes heavier and heavier.
