CGiii Comment

There's the short version and the longer version - watch the shorter!

It's well-filmed, production values are pretty good...but, the idea: Men getting pregnant!!!

It's a bit on the silly side...and, all the texting...some would call it lazy direction!

The(ir) Blurb...

Adrian, a young gay guy living in Taipei, falls in love with West, but West is not interested in a real relationship. Adrian, to see him again, begins to pretend that he is pregnant with West's baby.
