Happy Together is a 1997 Hong Kong film directed by Wong Kar-wai, starring Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, that depicts a turbulent romance between two men. The English title is inspired by The Turtles' 1967 song, which is covered by Danny Chung on the film's soundtrack; the Chinese title is an idiomatic expression suggesting "the exposure of something indecent." The film received positive reviews from several film festivals, including a win for Best Director at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival. Ho Po-Wing and Lai Yiu-fai , a couple from pre-handover Hong Kong, visit Argentina hoping to... renew their ailing relationship. The two have a pattern of abuse, followed by break-ups and reconciliations. One of their goals in Argentina is to visit the Iguazu waterfalls, which serves as a leitmotif in the movie. The movie unfolds in the following sections: Part 1 As the two arrive into Argentina, they pick a car. During the ride, however, they get into an argument and break up. Lai is the more stable and committed of the two, and desires nothing more than a fairly normal life.
