Opening scene has Xiao Bo nursing his father on death bed who now wants him to call his mother. She shows remorse for not being able to feed Xiao her breast milk and as a dying wish, asks for his son's milk, who obliges the father with an act of oral sex. Yes this is just the beginning. We then see Xiao Bo renting with his boyfriend Nana who has had sex change now. Even though Xiao denies being gay, he is no longer attracted to female form of Nana. Desperate for revenge, Nana decides she will find many lovers but never let any man love her. He joins a club as singer where the owners brother falls head over heels in love with her, who either doesn’t know or doesn’t care about her confused sexuality. The movie continues in this fashion, presenting a series of interconnected vignettes in which the main character is usually someone carried over from the preceding scene. And all sorts of interesting sexual interactions happen. I was so done by this time, that I really stopped caring of what's going on in the film
This film is abstract in every way, even though initially it started off as a familiar story about the pitfalls of denying one’s true nature of being what they are. Pretty soon it keeps going weirder and weirder and sadly without a purpose. It’s as though by going so far over the top, the director can disspell any expectation about sexual identity, and that becomes a liberating force in the film. Ben though the film is just about 80 minutes, with its experimental nature, it just feels way too long and you wonder why was this ever made. I am very sure this is not he kind of films I wanna see. (2.5/10)
