"Aphrodite Athlete is a creative
masterpiece-a Taiwanese,
gay male version of Personal Best."
-Jerry Morganstein,
The Hollywood Reporter
Based on the story of Taiwan's famous boxer Tsai Teng, Aphrodite Athlete is a drama that hits hard, about a young man fighting to become a woman.
Tsai Teng fights in Taiwanese boxing, believing he is a girl trapped in a young man's body. Humorous and touching, Aphrodite Athlete follows Tsai Teng's journey from a boxing camp to becoming a full-fledged kickboxer.
A joke to most audiences, Tsai Teng, rises above the laughter to win most matches that he fights. With every win, Tsai Teng becomes more feminine, making the journey all the more remarkable.
