Journalist-activist Hoi Yi fights against the worldwide rise of surveillance and censorship, all while suppressing his queer identity from his family. An animated, hybrid documentary from the maker of the acclaimed LGBTQI+ documentary I Love Hooligans.
Behind Hoi Yi's public fight for freedom of expression lies an inner conflict. As a queer man, he moves between two worlds: the free life he leads in the Netherlands, and the traditional expectations of his family in China. While he helps Iranian journalists circumvent censorship, his personal life slowly falls apart. A confronting conversation with Mei-Lan, pregnant by another queer man, forces Hoi into self-reflection in this poignant, animated documentary about the protagonist's dilemmas. Selected for leading international festivals.
