🌟 Synopsis
Dive into a captivating and candid exploration of the lives of three gay teenagers in Taipei. This documentary showcases their daily realities while challenging traditional gender norms in a Confucian society.

• Another, an elite high school student, faces ostracism from his peers.
• A stunning, androgynous cross-dressing performer adds to the vivid tapestry of their stories.

An outstanding achievement in Taiwanese documentary filmmaking, this film not only captivated audiences at the box office but also provided a profound insight into the lives of those living on the fringe of society.
