Vocabulary

Three dates, three words, and a city that doesn’t always speak your language.

17mDirected by Zhizi Hao

Andy, a young chunky Chinese newcomer, arrives in London’s gay scene full of wonderful dreams. What he finds instead: somewhat racist Grindr bios, slang he can’t decipher (“bog roll”), and rules no dictionary can teach. Over three sex/dates, he stumbles through the unspoken vocabulary of sex, love, and belonging.
