A trip to Buenos Aires reveals the dark side of love in Wong Kar-wai’s intoxicating masterpiece Happy Together. When Hong Kong couple Yiu-Fai (Tony Leung Chiu-Wai) and Po-Wing (Leslie Cheung) arrive in Argentina, their volatile relationship begins to unravel amid cycles of jealousy, co-dependency, and longing. As their lives drift apart, Yiu-Fai struggles to move forward while Po-Wing remains trapped in self-destructive patterns, their emotional orbit becoming increasingly impossible to sustain.

Set against the uncertainty surrounding Hong Kong’s 1997 handover, Happy Together explores the complexities of queer love with remarkable empathy and emotional depth. Wong's landmark contribution to LGBT Hong Kong cinema saw him take home the Best Director award at the 1997 Cannes festival.
