Gao Wai-Tung (Chao) lives the good life: He runs a successful real-estate business in New York and has a wonderful relationship with his lover, Simon (Lichtenstein). The only problem is that his elderly parents in Taiwan don't know he's gay - and they're pushing him to get married and present them with a grandchild. So, with Simon's approval, Wai-Tung strikes a bargain with Wei-Wei (Chin), a charming young Chinese woman who is one of his tenants. If she'll marry him, he'll help her get a green card so she can stay in the United States. The charade culiminates in an elaborate Chinese banquet that no one will soon forget. Cultural miscommunication, the obligations of tradition and the difficulty of coming out as gay are all depicted with both hilarity and heartbreaking reality. (1993), C, 108 min., R, CC, Fox Home Entertainment. - Baker & Taylor
In order to appease his traditional parents and lead them to believe he is heterosexual, a gay Chinese man, with the approval of his lover, agrees to marry a Chinese woman who needs a green card.
