  • Tres estudiantes de secundaria experimentan las ventajas y las trampas del amor en esta historia sobre la amistad y el anhelo. Jonathan, un estudioso niño que vive en un pueblo costero en el sur de Taiwan, por petición de su profesor debe apoyar a rebelde compañero Shane. Diez años más tarde, lo que al principio era una obligación se convirtió en una cálida amistad, pues Jonathan todavía hace seguimiento al desempeño académico de Shane, quien además ha encontrando su vocación en la cancha de baloncesto. Nacida en Taiwán, la estudiante Carrie llega a Hong Kong para reunirse con su madre después de un desacuerdo con su padre y de ser transferida a su escuela. Se hace amiga de Jonathan y le convence para unirse a ella en un secreto viaje a Taipei. Por la noche ella lo seduce en un motel, pero Jonathan se retracte claramente angustiado. Eventualmente, empieza a observar su amistad con Shane y comienza a creer que es homosexual y esta enamorado de su mejor amigo. Carrie conoce a Shane a través de Jonathan después de un día de clases, donde Shane desarrolla interés por Carrie. A pesar de sus dudas iniciales sobre el tosco Shane, ella finalmente se rinde a los encantos de este problemático chico y acepta su oferta de convertirse en su novia, con la condición de que se las arregle para entrar en la universidad. Más tarde, Shane logra pasar las pruebas en la Universidad, pero Jonathan, distraído por su creciente crisis de identidad sexual, no lo hace. Shane hace lo posible por mantener sus sentimientos hacia Carrie en secreto con el fin de proteger los sentimientos de su amigo de toda la vida. Sin embargo, a pesar de todos sus esfuerzos, la verdad emerge al final, lo que obligó a los tres para ver sus relaciones en una luz completamente nueva.
  • Three high school students experience the perks and pitfalls of love in director Leste Chen's sensitive tale of friendship and yearning. As a child living in a seaside town in southern Taiwan, studious Jonathan (Bryant Chang) was asked by his concerned teacher to look after rebellious classmate Shane (Joseph Chang). Ten years later, what was once a good-natured obligation has since blossomed into a warm friendship, with Jonathan still on the academic track and Shane now finding his calling on the basketball court. Taiwan-born schoolgirl Carrie (Kate Yeung) arrives from Hong Kong to join her mother after a disagreement with her father and transfers to their school. She befriends Jonathan and convinces him to join her on a secret day-trip to Taipei and in the evening she seduces him in a sleazy hotel but Jonathan backs down clearly distraught. Eventually, her observations of his and Shane's friendship leads her to believe that he is gay and in love with his best friend. Carrie then meets Shane through Jonathan after a school day where Shane develops an interest in Carrie. Despite her initial misgivings about the boorish Shane, she eventually gives in to the troublemaker's roguish charms. She accepts his offer to become his girlfriend on the condition that he manages to enter university. Later, Shane pulls his act together and tests into University, but Jonathan, distracted by his burgeoning sexual identity crisis, does not. Shane does his best to keep his feelings for Carrie secret in order to protect the feelings of his lifelong friend. Despite all their best efforts to keep their personal feelings secret, the truth eventually emerges, forcing all three to view their relationships in an entirely new light.
