Piao Lang Qing Chun

Originally translated as The Drifting Flowers of Youth, Zero Chou's (Spider Lilies) third feature is her most gloriously crafted yet. Eloquently old in three parts, focusing on a different character each time,

Drifting Flowers opens with the story of 8 yr. old May, who befriends an androgynous accordion player, Diego. Both May and Jing soon fall for this suave butch dyke, and the bittersweet love causes friction for all. The second scenario is a beautiful story of loss and rekindled friendship. Lily quietly struggles alone with Alzheimer's, longing for the day when her missing girlfriend Ocean will walk through the door. Instead, her long lost cross-dressing pseudo-husband -- reminiscent of her lover -- shows up on Lily's doorstep. Their fragmented friendship grows beautifully into an inseparable bond that tugs at the heart. Coming full circle, the third segment features Diego during her teen years, fighting her traditional family, binding her breasts and falling in love for the first time.
