For Chinese parents, finding out that their kid is gay usually presents a major tragedy, with the big majority utterly unable to accept the homosexuality of their son or daughter. However, during recent years a fresh rainbow wind has been blowing over the Chinese mainland: a pioneer generation of Chinese parents has been stepping up and speaking out on their love for their gay kids. This documentary features six mothers from all over China, who talk openly and freely about their experiences with their homosexual children. With their love, they are giving a whole new definition to Chinese-style family bonds. The film made a significant impact on Chinese society through underground screenings and online streaming. However, in 2014, the online versions were suddenly taken down from the internet within China. The director sued the censors, which became a milestone event for free speech in China.
