♱ 2025 Osaka Asian Film Festival

Inside a cold and lonely city comes a tale of love - from an over-the-top love story between two middle-aged men to a pair of female lovebirds struggling to meet their parents' expectations by marrying men. In a world built upon transactional relationships, finding true love proves challenging, especially for the marginalized. Director Geng Jun leverages his dark humor to examine the challenges faced by homosexuals in a patriarchal society, and tells a story of warmth in finding oneself in a black-and-white world that belongs to their community. Best Leading Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Audience Choice Award at Golden Horse Awards.

Director: Geng Jun

Cast: Xu Gang, Zhang Zhiyong, Chen Xuanyu, Wang Qing
