CONTENT WARNING:
Scottish police detective and his alleged fatal affair with a young Chinese man. This sets off an investigation that threatens to rock the moral foundation of the Hong Kong Law Enforcement and Justice Department in the 1980s. Filmmaker David Chow takes us into the lives of present-day Hong Kong gay men to reveal their hidden aspirations and desires. He tracks down gay couples, a lovelorn painter, a taxi driver, activists, radical politicians, sociologists, sexologists, philosophers, and political analysts.Filming in pick-up joints, bars and saunas, he reveals a gay community forced underground by marginalization, criminalization, and discrimination. Chow uncovers how the conservative Hong Kong establishment is reluctant to improve the rights of the local gay community.
This film is presented in with English subtitles.
