SYNOPSIS
Asian Premiere
SYNOPSIS
Two women met in a Hutong b&b in Beijing. One of them presents herself as unfriendly and bashful while the other is bold and flirty. What would happen when they become more and more involved? This film will push the limit of traditional Chinese culture, challenging our daily ethics of real sexual behavior. It will also combine the method of documentary, with two performers talking about the purpose of their participation in the film, which will led to a discussion about the boundary of pornography. At the end of the film, we will expand the space of desire to the street of Beijing.
