Fei is a young man from the countryside, making money in the big city by having sex with men. There are subplots of his colleagues, with one managing to save enough money to get out of the business, marry a woman and have a baby, and another managing to switching to busking to support his wife and children.
Going home, he has uncles who are not happy with his lifestyle, wanting him to get married and settle down. Instead, another young man from his village follows him back to the city, hoping to earn his fortune.
Produced and shot in Taiwan, the cities and locations mentioned squarely puts the action in mainland China. That makes me wonder how authentic the situation would be - is this the only alternative to life working in the factories making goods for export? Also, how fluid is their sexuality, that they can "switch teams" easily, or are they just "gay for pay"?
