\nFor over thirty years\, Old Second and Bao Mei have
cobbled together a meager existence in New York City&rsquo\;s Chinatown. B
ut unlike other couples\, these two share an unusual past. In rural Fuzhou
\, before they emigrated\, they frequented the Workers&rsquo\; Cinema: a t
heater where gay men cruised for love.
While classic war films
played\, Old Second and his countrymen found intimacy in the screening roo
ms. In the box office\, Bao Mei sold movie tickets to closeted men\, guard
ing their secrets and finding her own happiness with the projectionist. Bu
t when Old Second&rsquo\;s passion for his male lover is revealed\, a seri
es of haunting events unfold\, propelling these characters toward an uncer
tain future in America.
