After Erection
Alan and Ben clicked right away in their first encounter at a break-up party. They got along so well that they left the party to get a room. Coincidentally, it was a Saturday night, when lonesome hearts yearned for sex…
One Saturday night in Hong Kong, Alan and Ben meet at a break-up party and feel an immediate spark. They decide to leave together, hoping to find a hotel room for a night of passion. But it's a busy Saturday, and every hotel they try is fully booked. As they wander through the neon-lit streets and back alleys, they begin to open up about their pasts. Alan confesses his painful first hookup attempt at 17, when he was turned away from a villa because he was with another man. Ben reveals the heartbreaking day his mother abandoned him and his sister at a McDonald's. In just one night, their conversation shifts from lust to vulnerability, from erection to emotional connection. This 20-minute short film captures a tender, realistic portrait of two young men searching not only for a place to be intimate, but for a chance at something more meaningful in a city that often denies them space.
