Hong Kong love story following the fleeting relationship between Pak, a taxi driver who refuses to retire, and Hoi, a retired single father.
Although both are secretly gay, they are proud of the families they have created through hard work and determination. Yet in that brief initial encounter, something is unleashed in them which had been suppressed for so many years. As both men recount and recall their personal histories, they also contemplate a possible future together.
