Eternal Summer

Directed by Leste Chen

An award-winning success in its native Taiwan, this coming-of-age tale finds shy, dedicated student Jonathan inseparable from jock Shane. Ten years later, at university in Taipei they are still as close as ever and Jonathan’s realisation of his desire for Shane causes him heartache. When Jonathan gains a gal pal, Carrie, the dynamics of the duo shift. Beautifully shot, eternal summer confirms the wealth of queer Taiwanese cinema.
