Absolutely amazing movie

After the first viewing, I was surprised by the scope of the story, which I could not understand, and the absolutely perfect performances of the actors. Further, the story was sifted inside me, the individual scenes penetrated more and more deeply into my soul. The creators set the viewer in the mood with this exceptional piece so that it is not immediately clear and the story can be imagined from different angles. Yao Hua (a long-haired and headdressed symposia) is working at a butcher's stall in the market in 2022, his father is already a bit deranged, and suddenly Yao finds himself 31 years back in 1991, where he is mistaken for the missing Yong Hui-e and in the group of four friends he is especially interested in the only girl Kang Min, he sees a younger version of his father Bao Ding and finds out that the father is gay and in love with An Jian. I had tears in my eyes at some parts of the movie. The time (1991) in which Yao Hua finds himself is not as welcoming and open as the year 2022, in this year the first democratic changes are just beginning in Taiwan and the Kuomintang was abolished, and this time is excellently portrayed in the film. I also liked that all the characters are not gay like we sometimes see in Thai dramas, and that made everything more natural. Taiwan is a concept not only in the world of BL, and it is so, at least for me, here as well... The film needs to be watched at least two or three times. Excellent music.
The ending is not translated, about 58 subtitles, so we got a spoken word translation from a Slovak lady living in Taipei, who translated the ending into Czech (Czech and Slovak languages ​​are very similar and they understand each other).
