The challenges facing aging gay men are dramatized with great warmth in this Hong Kong-set portrait of a new love affair from director Ray Yeung (Front Cover, Frameline40). Hoi and Pak have both acknowledged their sexuality late in life. Pak is a married cab driver when he makes a pass at Hoi on a park bench, and they've both raised children. But together they find a camaraderie and passion that have been missing thus far in their lives. As affection potentially turns to love, the question of what each man is willing to give up becomes a pressing matter.

Yeung's nuanced script augments the central narrative of Hoi and Pak's developing relationship with memorable subsidiary characters. Though Hoi lives with his Christian fundamentalist son, he also consorts with a lively group of activists who are mobilizing support for a gay senior center. Hong Kong’s LGBTQ+ community — and gay elders across the globe — have often struggled for visibility; but with the kind of heartfelt representation seen in strong films like Twilight’s Kiss — which screened at the Berlin International Film Festival—the possibility for progressive movement in both arenas seems likelier.
