What is extraordinary is that Kim Jho Gwang-soo and Dave Kim's wedding is the first of its kind in a country that does not recognize same-sex marriages.

“Four Moons” sensitively depicts the phases of life through four stories, taking us on four journeys, from childhood to old age. A fragile boy develops a crush on his homophobic cousin. A college student falls in love with his former childhood friend, and their first attempt at male-on-male sex is pure comical awkwardness. Two longtime lovers enjoy their seemingly perfect gay life with financial security and enviable dinner parties, only if one of them can quit his sexual addiction for good. Finally, the story turns to a retired college professor who contemplates the elusive lifetime desire of a relationship with a hunky hustler he meets at a sauna.
