故事梗概：

一段瑞士美男与香港男子间跨时空、跨肉体的同志奇幻情缘。身在瑞士的Alex在火车上遇到Ricky，发现原来只是在做梦，真正的Ricky在香港。Alex偶然捡到一块石头，石头里有人向他说话，劈头第一句便问对方的时间。两人分隔在不同的时空里，但都渴望接触对方……本片由瑞士“同志先生”Alex Inderkum和金马奖最佳作曲林一峰担纲演出。影片描述瑞士男孩透过一颗小石头，与远在香港的男孩意外产生沟通，既写实又科幻，导演成功地利用数位影像特质，重新结构银幕、视窗、以及真实人生的关联；而对空间、爱情与寂寞，作出极富创意又情感丰沛的诠释，潜力十足，是位值得期待的新锐。

Synopsis:

“Buffering…”, starring   Chet Lam (singer/songwriter, Warner Music Hong Kong) and  Alex Inderkum (1st runner up, Mr. Gay Switzerland), shot in Hong Kong, Switzerland, and Chicago, and directed by   Kit Hung, (“a major new talent in the world of queer experimental cinema” Mix, New York / special jury prize winner, Golden Dragon Film Festival, Gent, Belgium) is a poetic, romantic, yet bittersweet journey about searching for one’s presence in the digital age, where anyone has the capability to share their own stories of love and loneliness within it.

导演阐述：

Director’s Statement:

As a reflection on the communication-method/love/emotional status of modern people, “Buffering…” provides an opportunity for the audience to rethink their relationship with technology.

“Buffering…” is a love story between Alex and Ricky. Alex finds a stone that talks to him verbally. The stone is a metaphor for hi-tech communication, connected to another world-the cube where Ricky lives. Ricky’s body and space are pixilated beyond his control. He can only sleep on public transportation with a big pillow, and the ring of Alexís mobile phone always awakens him.
Alex and Ricky come from two completely different worlds. They are connected through the stone, in the same way that people connect randomly on the Internet. “Buffering…” is about the inability of Alex and Ricky being able to touch each other, and the journey of each of them searching for each otherís presence.
