Synopsis:
    The inseparable brothers Leung and Ming came to the big city pursuing their dreams of being successful actors. Unusual intimacy emerged in their daily life.

    When the taboo was broken, Leung realized that he was just living underneath the shadow of his brother.

    Standing on the edge of moral boundaries, Leung tried to pull himself out from the reality, but his world had already fallen apart…

Director’s Notes:
    We are sometimes facing our desires in subconsciousness, such as, in our dreams. But when someone’s mind is overloaded, he might twist the reality and his dream.

    This is a kind of attempt on making this structuralism conceptual story into a thriller. Above and beyond the dream theory, no matter the sexual orientation, gender or relationship, and regardless of moral boundaries, the story could be even more twisted and chaotic.

    The nightmare might be a loop of reflection on your ambition and desire, and you thought it would be the end but it just started.
