En China, la homosexualidad no es ilegal, pero los homosexuales son perseguidos sistemáticamente por la policía y detenidos por "vandalismo". La película se centra en un joven escritor gay A-Lan que, siendo atraído por un joven policía, logra interrogarse a sí mismo durante toda una noche. Su historia de vida que le dice durante el interrogatorio refleja la represión general de la sociedad china. La actitud del policía se desplaza desde la repulsión inicial de fascinación y, por último, a la atracción.

Often cited as China’s first independent feature film, this low-budget drama, filmed largely in the director’s Beijing apartment, depicts the life of a single mother (a topic considered taboo at the time) caring for her mentally challenged son. Shot with a documentary aesthetic that includes interviews with families of mentally challenged persons, the film helped kick-start the Sixth Generation of filmmakers (including Wang Xiaoshuai and Jia Zhangke) and their ethos of employing documentary realism to depict the true conditions of contemporary China.
