A sleepy town in China. A middle-aged man is unwilling to endure a stagnant existence – so, upon experiencing true love, he decides to come out of the closet. Meanwhile, a lesbian couple go in search of a gay man, in order to get married and have a child.
Behind these fiery love stories lies an absurd drama about identity politics, as these lonely souls struggle with the legacy of the communist past.
Winner of several awards at Taipei Golden Horse Film Festival 2025, Bel Ami offers a stylish depiction of daily life, biting black humour and subtle critiques of popular assumptions about gender roles, social etiquette, and age-appropriate behaviour.
