For love, Nimer was forced to leave the family who loved him, for love, so as to escape.
And why didn't Roy end up in a possible imprisonment for love, and it would be hard to see his family and lover again.
Nimer is poor. As a Gay, he lives in Palestine, where the "forbidden base" is everywhere. In order to pursue the dream of escaping from reality, he came to Israel. The bright future that was originally planned has become confusing because of the outstanding love. The "pass" was revoked, and his family was treated as a terrorist, making his love and dreams impossible. In despair, the lover desperately let him escape.
Compared to Nimer's pitiful, I admire Roy's fiery and reckless love. Gao Fushuai's bohemian love for love is enviable. To love someone, run around, just because of the phrase "I love you". Despite being imprisoned, he still defended and persisted in love. From the perseverance in his eyes, he can see his deep affection for his lover.
At the end of the film, Nimer sits on the smuggling speedboat, thinking sadly. Is it Roy? Or an uncertain future? Or both. For him, being with Roy is the future he hopes at the moment.
Loving someone seems to leave everyone who loves you. This is great and a cruel compromise in such an environment. I sincerely hope that when Nimer arrives in France with all his hardships, Roy is already on the shore, opening his arms to him, smiling happily with relief.
But this may just be hope.
