When Lesbians Divorce Gay Men

Dir: Xiaopei He
82mins   2024   China   TBC   Chinese   

A decade after entering into lavender marriages, these lesbians have all divorced their contract husbands. During the filing, the COVID-19 pandemic swept the world, and China implemented a zero-COVID policy, requiring that no one be exposed to the virus.

This documentary captures their lives during this time. Despite sharing a home with both their same-sex partners and their parents, none of these lesbians has come out. Their divorces have remained secret.

Their efforts to have children have been unsuccessful. Their lesbian relationships are not recognized by the public. The abrupt change in the zero-COVID policy has not left anyone untouched.

Despite the immense effort invested in this lesbian film, no cultural products about homosexuality are allowed to be published.
