Film description

Passion and pathological jealousy, the need for excitement and stability, parting and returning. Ho Powing and Lai Yiu-fai leave for Buenos Aires to breathe a new life into their fidgety relationship. The bond between the lovers is strong and destructive at the same time, the emotions cannot be left behind on the other continent. Under the heavy rain clouds and the burning sun of Argentina, in the thrilling rhythm of the tango, the men find each other and loose each other all over again.

The masterful melodrama with the biggest stars of Hong Kong cinema Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung. Even thought Christopher Doyle's camera sees more space than usual, the emotional trap the protagonists are stuck in, remains the source of pain they cannot give up on. One of the most moving love stories in the history of cinema, and one of the crucial films for the Hong Kong LGBTIQ community.
