Puji and his Lovers

This film is an authentic documentary showing the marital and sexual norms among the Hani (Yiche), an ethnic minority of about 20,000 people, living in Yunnan Province, South West China. 25-year old Puji is a married man with a family, who nevertheless regularly leaves his home overnight to visit his lovers and spend the night with them, before returning home in the early morning hours. Such sexual behaviour is a frequent custom among the Hani and many men and women have extra-marital relationships.
