Synopsis

Shortly after The Third Solar Term of the Chinese Calendar, Qizhe returns home to spend the spring break with his mother, whose constant lecturing, however, makes him rebellious. When his mother unexpectedly catches him at his secret rendezvous with a red-haired young man, the supposedly relaxing homecoming turns into a turbulent identity crisis—one which forces him to come to terms with his growing homosexuality and his desire to be the perfect son.

☆ A brilliant presentation of the tumultuous battle of affection and defensiveness between mother and son.
