For over thirty years, Old Second and Bao Mei have cobbled together a
meagre existence in New York City's Chinatown. But unlike other
couples, these two share an unusual past. In rural Fuzhou, before they
emigrated, they frequented the Workers' Cinema, where gay men cruised
for love.
While classic war films played, Old Second and his fellow countrymen
found intimacy in the privacy of the Workers' Cinema's screening rooms.
Elsewhere, in the box office, Bao Mei sold tickets to closeted men -
guarding their secrets and finding her own happiness with the
projectionist. But when secrets are unveiled, they set in motion a
series of haunting events that propel Old Second and Bao Mei towards an
uncertain future in America.
Spanning three timelines - post-socialist China, 1980s Chinatown, and
contemporary New York - Cinema Love is a tender epic about men and
women who find themselves in forbidden and frustrated relationships as
they grapple with the past and their unspoken desires.
