Breezy Day
It is a gloriously sunny day for the wedding day of Zhang’s son and Sean’s dad. In a fateful encounter, Zhang bumps into Sean outside the venue as they are both gripped by hesitation over attending the wedding reception. They immediately sense each other’s disquiet over the oncoming event and take time out together. As they contemplate what holds them back, the ties of love that bind two pairs of fathers and sons and the women absent from their lives come to light.

Chiang Chung-chieh is from Taiwan. His work won the Taipei Film Award for Best Short Film and was selected for the Golden Horse Awards and the Vancouver Film Festival, among others. His latest short film, “Breezy Day”, is about the dilemma of same-sex marriage. In the meantime, he is developing his first feature film project.
In 1993, with "The Wedding Banquet", Director Ang Lee told us a story about the fake wedding of a gay couple to meet their old parents' expectations. In 2019, Taiwan became the first country in Asia to legitimatize same-sex marriages, a big step toward marriage equality. However, has our society been calm and got with the times? With a same-sex marriage, the film tries to show us the dilemma of gay couples and new diversified family relationships.
