Synopsis
In the busy streets and cramped alleyways of Hong Kong, two lonely and isolated men have an intense affair. Ricky, a waiter and delivery boy from Beijing, lives with his aunt, a prostitute who passes the time between clients baggering him. Swiss-born Pascal picks pockets and juggles for cash. After running away from his abusive roommate, Pascal wanders aimlessly before finding a friendly face, and eventually a warm bed, with Ricky. Before long the two young lovers get an apartment together, where they share passionate nights until a tragedy leaves Ricky more isolated than ever. Haunted by his brief flirtation with happiness, Ricky heads to Switzerland in search of a connection to his dearly departed. There he meets Ueli, an antiques shopkeeper who bears an uncanny resemblance to Pascal. In the empty fields of a Swiss village, Ricky and Ueli try to forge a relationship. But Ricky cannot escape the ghosts of the past: his ailing mother who needs him in Beijing and the memory of Pascal.
