FISH MEMORIES is a stylish and juicy love triangle drama about the successful but lonely businessman Zi Jie and the younger Shang, who meet by chance in a store late one evening.

«I’m not going to sleep with you,» says Shang. «Why do you say that?» «You look a bit gay. But I like girls.»

What follows is an intense and erotic love triangle drama about two men from different generations who begin an unlikely relationship, told in a subdued manner. A brilliant and gorgeous new Taiwanese film.

"Chen Hung-I’s erotically charged Fish Memories is a queer threesome film with a frisson of sweaty '90s thrillers."

– Stephen A. Russell, Onion’s Shoulder
