There is a lot of ageism the gay scene, ” says Yng. I n’t remember the last time I’ve seen any film, gay or straight, that foced on senr romance. Inspired by Profsor Travis Kong’s Oral Histori of Olr Gay Men Hong Kong, the story follows Pak (Tai Bo), a gff grandfather who swam to Hong Kong durg the Cultural Revolutn and toiled for years as a taxi driver.

Intimate moments of rg and kdns are thoughtfully directed as the two men go on dat, strollg through wet markets and seekg refuge a gay sna. In Yng’s film, however, sists that the genre’s lack of such pictns miss a ccial aspect of gay life. Yng looks beyond his ma characters to clu the perspectiv of other olr gay men the muny.

In the movie, he reenacts his appearance at Hong Kong’s legislative uncil, pleadg to allow gay elrs to “live out [their] twilight years wh digny and eedom”.
