Star Appeal_2008

Chinese activist filmmaker Cui Zi'en crafts the first all gay Chinese science fiction film with
this fantastical tale of a lonely extraterrestrial who learns a tender lesson in earthly love
after being taken in by a curious bisexual. When Xiao Bo first saw the curious alien, he
was alone and naked on a long stretch of highway. He claimed to be from Mars, so Xiao
Bo brought him home in order to teach him about life on Earth.

Dubbed "ET" by his human hosts, the curious alien soon reveals that he has been sent
to this planet in order to learn as much as possible about physical interaction. Xiao Bo
has both a girlfriend and a boyfriend, neither of whom are particularly thrilled that Xiao
Bo has brought home a new lover. When Xiao Bo's girlfriend attempts to have a child
with "ET," the alien falls into a deep coma. Only the words, uttered from Xiao,
“I love you� can bring him around.
