A painter has an upcoming exhibition and is looking for an inspiration. He finds one in a young boy Er Meng, who desperately needs money and agrees to be the nude model. The painter finds himself getting more anymore attracted to the young boy, leaving his agent, the girl, bit miffed. She is secretly in love with the painter. She has never confessed her feelings but she is jealous of the young boy. Er Meng's father owes a lot of money to some bad guys so he takes up odd jobs in a cafe, house cleaner etc with the painter's help. But he still gets beaten up because of non payment and the painter then takes care of him and loves him. The bad guys even pimp Er Meng to an old man who nearly rapes him to recover their money and our painter arrives like a hero to save the day just in time.
Seriously, the film made absolutely no sense. Both the guys were good looking and could act alright , but when you an't connect to a character and know what the motivations behind some of their actions are, how do you put that across on the screen. In any such situations I would always blame the director, because they should know their job better. This film seemed like someone trying to do a school project and waste some of their money. The interactions and relationships were pretty all over the place. And then there were some side actors, who had some of their own story going on which made absolutely no sense whatsoever. The ending of this film was another sore point. Overall, this film was an absolute absolute waste of time. The only good thing is that it lasted only about 70 minutes. Contrary to the title, I'd say its very easy to give up on this film. Avoid at all costs (1/10)
