SYNOPSIS

After experiencing the embarrassment of not selling the dance drama tickets last year, 27-year-old Zhao Yuanhao is still performing the dance drama TWO MEN to convey the connotation and the concept of “TWO MEN”. 65-year-old Mu Aping is the founder of the Ping Zhi WU Dance ballet class and a constant follower of TWO MEN. Both of them, who belong to minority groups, have their own beliefs and similar life scars. The dance drama and the Ping Zhi WU Dance ballet class have both entered their fifth year of development, and generational differences make their stories similar but different. After the documentary shows the details of their lives, Mu went to see Zhao’s drama TWO MEN. After the performance, they talked freely. Zhao talked about the pain of being bullied by schoolmates in the past, and Mu encouraged and comforted Zhao based on his life experience. An “encounter” of two men, as well as a conversation about life stories, makes the life trajectories of two men interwoven, developing new possibilities in the mutual “dialogue”.
