Set against the city landscape of Taipei, Chen jofei explores the fears and anxieties of a closet gay young writer. The "safe" world that the lives in is disrupted by the advances of a daring young man who refuses to compromise with the norms of the society. The grim blue of his apartment is an apt reflection of his psychological wasteland, a sharp contrast to the cozy "home" of his first time lover. Undoubtedly a film about "coming out," it is also about love and the disappointments of live, If the work suffers from a certain didacticism, it will easily be forgiven for its integrity and sensitivity.
