SYNOPSIS

Synopsis: Gay men Gu and Chang meet on a dating app, and head to a hotel for a hookup. The two strangers start with some small talk to break the ice, but Gu seems anxious, prompting Chang to ease him into the mood. As their conversation progresses, Chang discovers that Gu is hiding a secret. Director's statement: When transitioning from being a film critic to a director, I aim to make my identity evident in my work. Therefore, I juxtapose The Gay Brothers, the first queer film in film history, with a modern hookup scene between two gay men, highlighting not only the existence of this rare work but also the historical significance of on-screen same-sex intimacy. Also, I use the transition in sound and color, such as the shift from black-and-white to color imagery, to draw an analogy to the progress of LGBTQ+ rights in Taiwan.
