    • Synopsis
    • Li Qi (starring ZHAO Bing Rui) is working for a dolphin show, his friend Ren Yu (starring YU Yue) chugs along with his mobile karaoke, working the surfers’ beach along the coast of Hainan Island where they both live. The tourists are delighted by Ren’s physical similarity to the screen actor Leslie Cheung and are happy to pay for a photo with him – or to get drunk with him.
      When a young woman Bai Ling (starring SHEN Shi Yu) joins this polyamorous couple, things are no different at first and an open, three-way relationship would seem possible. Together, Li Qi, Ren Yu and Bai Ling set out to test the limitations of a restrictive society as well as their own sexuality. But then, something happens that rocks the protagonists to the core and will have a deep and lasting effect on them …
