Girlfriend Boyfriend (2012)

Mabel, Liam and Aaron were born in the same small town, deep in the far south of Taiwan. In this final, hotbed year, new feelings arise that will alter the childhood bonds between them forever: Aaron loves Mabel, but Mabel only has eyes for Liam, who is really in love with Aaron. While Liam remains impervious to all Mabel's displays of affection, Aaron steps up his pursuit until, eventually, Mabel gives in to his attentions. Move on to the 1980s where the Taiwanese people are locked in a social revolution to have the Martial Law lifted. Mabel, Liam, and Aaron throw themselves into taking part. Later, as students in Taipei, they fight even harder for their ideals such as joining the Wild Lily Movement. In the course of this, long held secrets are revealed. Coming almost full-circle, the old friends who are there for one another through times of emotional hardship and extreme tragedy come to realize the true value of their lifelong friendship.
