Plot

A-Lan, a young gay writer, being attracted to a young policeman named Xiao Shi, manages to have himself arrested and interrogated for a whole night. Xiao Shi's attitude shifts from revulsion to fascination and, finally, to attraction.

In China, homosexuality isn't illegal, but homosexuals are routinely persecuted by police and arrested for "hooliganism". The film focuses on a young gay writer A-Lan who, being attracted to a young policeman, manages to have himself interrogated for a whole night. His life-story which he tells during the interrogation reflects the general repression of the Chinese society. The policeman's attitude shifts from the initial revulsion to fascination and, finally, to attraction.—Piotr Zembrowski <zembrows@astro.utoronto.ca> (after David Overbey)

In Beijing, gays have hidden sexual encounters in a park during the night and are severely repressed by the police. The writer A Lan is arrested by the policeman Xiao Shi and along the whole night, he is interrogated, disclosing his hard life-story since he was a child and his crush on Xiao Shi.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
