Kit Hung's ethereal and enchanting ode to the early films of Wong Kar Wai sees handsome Ricky, a young gay delivery boy who shuttles back and forth between his restaurant and various bustling Hong Kong locales, on the cusp of a sexual awakening that will change his life forever. One day he is pick-pocketed by the mysterious Pascal, a macho barfly who, after a pang of guilt, decides to return Ricky's wallet. On the run from his abusive boyfriend, Pascal immediately falls in love with the tender Ricky, and the pair become embroiled in a passionate yet tumultuous relationship. Events are further complicated when Ricky meets Pascal's twin brother, a revelation that exposes more truths about his lover than Ricky could ever have imagined. (Peccadillo Pictures)
