Moneyboys

Wonderful debut film of Chinese director C.B. Yi, a disciple of Michael Haneke, and a graduate of the Vienna academy of film.
Fei is a handsome young Chinese man coming from the countryside to the big city. To support himself and his poor family he’s forced to sell his body, as does his lover who is a long time sex worker. When Fei is attacked by a violent client, his lover decides to get revenge, which brings the police to Fei’d door and he is forced to skip town. Five years later Fei is financially stable and runs a list of regular clients with a group of friends. A visit to his home village will evoke memories, conflicts with his family and doubts about his future.
The production couldn’t get permission to make the film in its native China and instead it was filmed in Taiwan.
Viewing is 18+.
