Spring Fever

Luo Haitao (Chen Sicheng) has been hired by Wang Ping’s (Wu We) wife to spy on the passionate relationship between her husband and another man (Qin Hao).

The members of this love triangle are soon overcome by the fever of drunken spring nights and an exhilarating madness of the senses. Their entanglement becomes a dangerous malady that leads both heart and head astray. Made in explicit defiance of Chinese censorship and screened without government approval, this haunting and daring drama powerfully portrays the tension between its young protagonists’ dreams and desires and what plays out in their lives.
