Black Lips

Hong, a lonely Chinese immigrant, sells black market abalone at inflated prices and avoids connecting with people through a life of solitary ritual. He ventures to a remote part of the coast to track down his supplier where he meets Cain, a lonely gay man in a troubled relationship. With Cain’s help, Hong makes his way back to the city – and to a new understanding of his life.
