Porcelain is an examination of a young man’s crime of passion. Triply scorned – as an Asian, a homosexual, and now a murderer – nineteen-year-old John Lee has confessed to shooting his lover in a public lavatory in London. Porcelain dissects the crime through a prism of conflicting voices: newscasts, flashbacks, and John’s recollections to a prison psychiatrist. A Language of Their Own is a lyrical and dramatic meditation on the nature of desire and sexuality as four men – three Asian and one white – come together and drift apart in a series of interconnecting stories.
