本地一部有關粵劇男旦(又名乾旦)的人物紀錄片，一個講述逆流者藝術生命的故事， 跨越七年的影像紀錄。
兩個香港青年譚穎倫與王侯偉選擇了傳統粵劇為事業，並立志成為粵劇界寥寥可數的男旦。二人懷著旁人無法理解的熱情，面對家人、行業、社會的不解與壓力，走著他們一意孤行的乾旦路。從兩個自小惺惺相惜的難得知己，互相學習如何做好一個女性角色，到今天卻輾轉成了一對台上好拍擋，演繹一段段粵劇男女的動人故事。
在香港立志從事藝術從來都是一條逆流的路，既不切實際又難有明天。
當知道前面的路是沒有未來，你還會選擇走下去嗎？
This is a story about male Dan (male performer playing female lead) in Cantonese Opera; a documentary seven years in the making about a marginalized art form.
In Hong Kong, two young men: TAM Wing-lun, and WONG Hau-wai, both have chosen Cantonese Opera as their profession. They want to be the male Dan which is rare in the industry. Without the support of family, the industry or the society, the only thing to keep the two men going is their passion. Ever since they were young, the two have been each other’s confidant and supporter, learning how to interpret the role of women, and motivating each other on and off stage. Even when the parts they played on stage have changed, the friendship between the two, on and off stage, remains constant and strong.
The art is not a popular field in Hong Kong. It is impractical and generally not supported. When the road ahead is unclear, how does one continue? How does one reach his final destination?
