BEFORE WE FADE

Before We Fade centers on campus youth and BL romance, following two boys as they grow close, drift apart, and reunite ten years later. Through the motifs of a youth map, captured memories, and Starpura Island, the film portrays an unspoken love and a long-held regret that can only be understood with time, offering strong market appeal through its themes of first love, missed chances, reunion, and cross-cultural emotional resonance.

The deepest regret of youth is not never meeting, but failing to understand love when it finally comes close. Over three years of high school, Haowei from the regular program and Xiangyong from the art program grow from reluctant partners into the only ones who truly understand each other’s silence. Through their “Youth Map,” one hides his loneliness behind a smile, while the other records his feelings through drawings and a camera. In the summer before graduation, they become closer than ever, yet miss each other at the moment that feels most like love.The Tiger Lord falls into a trap at Bei Yuan Temple.
