Vulnerable young Eric is at a crossroads in his life both geographically and emotionally. A reluctant immigrant plucked from the familiarity of his Hong Kong existence to the rootless suburbia of Toronto he establishes his gay sexual identity while his family slowly disintegrates. Soon he finds himself falling for a succession of men while learning and growing from every painful experience.Innocent is a quintessential North American tale. With new immigrants comprising such a large part of the social fabric director Chung forces us to face the reality of their existence and to make us see the dark gray world they face every day as they step out into their new lives.The film is an incisive and nuanced take on the difficulties in reconciling the often conflicting aspects of oneself - in this case being Asian in North America and gay in a heterosexual world.
