恋夕阳

我们常常想象老年生活的悲惨，想象自我孤单身影拉长在无尽的黑夜。然而，他60岁，为了了解中国老年同志生活走遍大江南北；他70岁，为了追逐青春从来不曾停息；他72岁，和男友相伴50年相信有一种爱可以永存；他81岁，如果有人诬蔑老年人性功能衰退他一定会出庭作证反对。人说最美不过夕阳红，让我们跨越时代的鸿沟，探索年老的奥秘。来自于中国，意大利，比利时和荷兰四位老同志将为我们解读他们在过去，在现在，在未来。　

Synopsis:
In a world where Botox controls the facial expressions of more and more people, it seems like growing old is a new taboo. Misery, loneliness and boredom are often the keywords to describe how we think about elderly people. Age has become something to fight against in a society ruled by Peter Pan celebrities…
Wake-up from Never-Never Land!! Rock that wrinkle! Old can be gay, golden and glamorous! This documentary travels to China, Italy, Belgium and Holland to put the spotlight on gay elderly men who talk freely about their experiences. They all have stories to tell: some do research on the conduct of their fellow gay elderly, some never lose their faith in building up love-relationships with younger men, some courageously stand up to all those proclaiming that sex stops after 80 and some celebrate their 50-year anniversary with their boyfriend.

夕阳无限好，只是近黄昏。同性恋的老年生活到底是否暗淡无光？没有子女的养育，没有子孙的陪伴是否真的会让同性恋的老年孤灯伴老？不同时空历史交错背景下的人们是否会有相似的感悟和预见？
影片通过平实记录4个来自不同国度的老年同性恋者，他们在生活中各自面对的历史和现在，不同的地域风貌和场景展现出他们最真切的生活现状。他们各自真实面对生活的过去，现在和未来的娓娓道来，通过四个时空相互交错，平行和拼接，以最直接的提问和聆听来获得生活中我们忽视的经验和思考现在的起点。

Director’s Statement:
What does gay elderly life look like? Do gay elderly people still have love affairs? Are they lonely? Do they regret not having children or grandchildren who can take care of them? Should we be afraid of getting old?
Society, including the queer society, tends to keep the elderly hidden. By always focusing on youth and health, it seems to warn us for old age, telling us that it is a period of gloomy darkness.　　
We decided not to heed this warning and made a documentary about the lives of 4 elderly gay men. We asked them open and direct questions, and they told us without inhibitions about their past, present and future. Though they all come from different cultural and social backgrounds, their lives and opinions intersect in interesting ways, giving the viewer an exiting look at how adventurous it can be to grow old.
