Kevin, a young theatre director from Hong Kong, is searching for ideas for his next play with his team, hoping to get funding for an overseas production. Frank, a middle-aged hairdresser in Berlin, is performing his daily routine. Coincidences bring them together, though their friendship is dictated by the parameters of the smartphone. Kevin decides to adapt the stories of the Berlin Wall to the stage, as old memories of living in East Berlin come flooding back to Frank. Shadows, in their literal and metaphorical sense, become the third wheel which silently alters their lives and turns into a story that transcends the boundaries of reason. Through this experimental work, director Terence LI sheds light on the inner space-time of the queer and the displaced.

The understanding of time is dependable to the person’s perception. For elders, the seemingly overdued life experiences were their golden ages. This is a life story of an individual in highspeed. Beginning as an infant, the elder was like any of us, who was young and was beaten by his mom, experienced his first love, out of love, holding someone’s hand for the first time, feeling the warmth while holding his first born… And the one who lives with him all along might be his "pair".
