A Balloon's Landing

我在這裡等你

In this heartwarming BL tale of unexpected connections and the search for meaning, Hong Kong heartthrob Terrance Lau and Taiwanese sensation Fandy Fan bring a touch of magic to the open road. Lau stars as Tian-Yu, a writer adrift in a sea of his own making, who journeys to Taipei in search of the mythical Bay of Vanishing Whales and a sense of purpose. But when he crosses paths with A-Xiang, a small-time gangster with a heart of gold, played with effortless charm by Fan, Tian-Yu finds himself drawn into an adventure that will change both of their lives forever. Director Angel I-Han Teng, fresh off the success of her groundbreaking LGBTQ+ drama series Fragrance of the First Flower, weaves a tapestry of longing, friendship, and destiny that will leave viewers breathless. With stunning visuals, a haunting score, and a script that pulses with the rhythms of life, A Balloon's Landing is a testament to the power of human connection and the transformative nature of the journey itself.
