I think for being gay is not a guilt but many countries still a taboo and lag behind on the openness on this. Hk definitely is one of the place. Feel good movie try to bring something up and very real for the situation in hk. This movie should go to nominate some of the award in terms of the productions.

Two men in Hong Kong meet at a cruising park and form a relationship. They are of retirement age, but both are closeted and living with family - one with his wife, the other with his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter. So their chances at physical intimacy usually rests in places like bathhouses.

A substantial sub-plot is the attempt by young lobbyists, who are trying to create a gay seniors' home, to find members of a gay seniors' group to testify. Generally closeted, it is hard for them to step into the limelight.

This is a decent portrait about gay life in Hong Kong for the elderly. It is fairly calm and understated, leaving me to wish for a bit more drama.

This story is really touching. It speaks to my heart. The characters are very real, and their experiences are pretty authentic. They make you care about them. They make you realise that they, like everyone else, deserve happiness too. Great production as well. I really enjoyed it.

One of the best movies I've watched in 2021. Wonderful acting and such an important discussion regarding the elderly gay community. Even though the story is told in Hong Kong, this is a discussion that must be faced everywhere. Definitely a must see.

"Pak, a taxi driver already passes the age of retirement, a habitué of a local tearoom, chances upon Hoi, a divorcé and Catholic convert, both have adult children and grandchildren. After consummating their carnal knowledge, they gradually develop feelings for each other, but as a married man, Pak is the one who has a tougher decision to make, whereas for Hoi, audience is explicitly intimated that his son Wan (Lo) has been knowing his secret all the time. While both meditating on a possible future living together as a same-sex couple, that giant leap takes much more than a steely determination and their unalloyed, mutual affection."
