Jamie (Bryant Mak), on his way to visit his uncle in Melbourne, stops by Sydney to see his old secondary school friend Kevin (Jun Li), who lives in a group home due to crippling depression. It's been over a decade since they last saw each other back in Hong Kong - there are fleeting mentions of Kevin's "hospitalization" - but the two have a lovely night out as if no time has passed. Though they part just as quickly as they reunited, Jamie gives Kevin an open offer to visit him in Hong Kong anytime, an offer Kevin cannot refuse. Now back in his homeland, Kevin quickly overstays his welcome, and his presence causes a rift between Jamie and his suspicious girlfriend Elaine (Candy Cheung). Through it all, the true reason for Jamie and Kevin's estrangement hangs over them like a raincloud, a reason further elucidated in a series of flashbacks to their confusing, treacherous school years. As the two troubled friends circle each other, and Kevin catches the eye of one of the teen male students at his tutoring job, they must make a choice between following their heart or subscribing to the suffocating normality of heterosexual society. Using a stark digital cinematographic style, director/co-writer Simon Chung's I Miss You When I See You navigates a tense landscape of modern masculinity. (Seattle International Film Festival)
