Description
Dir. by Tung Wei Ye
Malaysia | 2019 | Drama | 18 min
In 2013 Taipei, a gay, interracial couple who just moved in together are forced to separate because one of them who is a Malaysian has HIV and is forced to be deported.
Director's Statement
Why do I still want to talk about the act that deport foreign HIV carriers, even though it has been amended in 2015? But the truth is, although Taiwan has legalised same-sex marriage recently, most Taiwanese still connect LGBTQIA+ community with HIV and AIDS. In an attempt to let my audiences know how cruel they are, I let them see how small, lonely and helpless queers can be when facing the society that wants to eliminate them.
