Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The movie tells a love story between two men, set in Beijing in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The movie ends after Lanyu’s death in an accident.

It can be counted as a mainland-made movie, because most of the crew are from mainland China. Nevertheless, this movie is banned there (see Homosexuality in China).
