The Immeasurable
University student Xiang meets police officer Vic on the basketball court. They quickly fall in love. Vic takes Xiang out of school and introduces him to his aunt, who supports Vic’s coming out. But it isn’t long…
In this emotionally charged 24-minute Taiwanese short film, a spontaneous basketball court encounter sparks an intense, whirlwind romance between Xiang, a passionate university student, and Vic, a mysterious police officer. Their connection is immediate and electric, leading to intimate confessions, steamy rendezvous, and a supportive aunt who embraces Vic's coming out. But beneath the surface of their dreamy new love lies a profound silence—a refusal to ask the simple questions that define a person. Neither knows what the other does for a living, and as their worlds collide in an unexpected protest, the distance between them becomes painfully audible. 'The Immeasurable' (original Chinese title: 'The Distance that Isn’t Heard') is a beautifully shot, metaphor-rich drama that explores how love can survive when two people stand on opposite sides of a societal divide. With stellar acting, stunning cinematography, and poignant symbolism (a goldfish and a fighter fish united), this short film captures the ache of loving someone you can’t fully understand. A must-watch for fans of thought-provoking, high-quality queer cinema.
