The two eventually embark on a love affair, but through several flashbacks, it eventually becomes clear that Pascal has subsequently been killed in a road accident near their flat, which Ricky had witnessed. Some years later, Ricky visits Pascal's former home in Switzerland to find it abandoned. During his time there, he meets Pascal's doppelganger in a man called Ueli, who nevertheless has a very different personality. They too fall in love, and the contentment that Ricky finds enables him to reflect on the relationship he had with Pascal. [citation needed] Hong Kong, Switzerland, China

2010 Amphetamine Daniel Gay/Bisexual Thomas Price Daniel, a wealthy Chinese Australian investment banker working in Hong Kong who is openly gay, meets and befriends Kafka, a young swimming instructor from a poor local family, who has strong religious beliefs. Kafka was sexually assaulted as a teenager by a male gang after successfully defending a young woman from being raped, and as a result, he has become impotent and a habitual user of recreational drugs. Although initially uncomfortable with Daniel's obvious sexual attraction to him, he soon sees Daniel as offering him new hope in life, and he falls deeply in love with him. But Kafka's life begins to fall apart again when his mother dies suddenly, and he attempts to end his life.
