1. SERIES
A very good collection of four stories, real, from real life, which pointed out the relatively large intolerance of Chinese society towards sexual minorities. I was most interested in the fact that at that time Chinese censorship was not yet so strict, and furthermore, that the creators managed to choose the most appropriate and especially likable types of boys and men, really enjoyable to watch.
1. US AGAINST THE WORLD - what was endearing about this sad story of intolerance was that one of the two boys was unafraid and defended the weaker one
2. BEIJING BEIJING - a boarded-up family breaks the bond between the two young men. Are you meeting again after three years?
3. THE WITNESS - two men with gym figures celebrate their third anniversary of living together, the mother of one of them pushes for her only son to marry and start a family, while the other of them sacrifices their relationship in order to "preserve" the traditions of the society. This gave me wisdom once: LOVE IS NOT AN OBLIGATION?
4. THE PROMISED CITY - two grown men struggle in the new city they moved to, not only with unemployment, but also with infidelity in their mutual relationship?
