Zhang Jiawei and Chen Zhihao are a gay couple, whose love lost its glamour after three years. At this time, the single stud He Ye smashed into the life of the two. He Ye, a possessive man, took interest in men after toying with relationships with many women. He saw the conquering of men more of a challenge than making women fall for him. To possess Chen Zhihao, He Ye seduced Zhang Jiawei, which led to the love problems of the couple. Zhang Jiawei, a naïve young boy, could not handle the seduction of the sophisticated He Ye and began to question the love between Chen Zhihao and himself.

**The directorial debut of 21-year-old undergraduate student Shen Weiwei. According to him, “Fire in Silence is neither a mere film about homosexuality nor a simple gay story, but rather, a portrait of one of the innermost desire[s] of human beings – the possessive instinct – [as seen] through gay characters. Human beings, born with desires, will stop at nothing, even at the cost of their basic conscience, to pursue what they want, whether it is power, money or love. He Ye [the seducer] is the epitome of everyone in this world.”
