STOMA, directed by Kit Hung ****

 This is a great film, marvelously acted by Sing Lam. The lead character, Alex Lim has one of the rarest forms of cancer that creates tumors in his bowels. he must decide if he will have the operation that will end up with him wearing a stoma all of his life  he goes to Switzerland to have it. Lim is gay and his lover is a man with no support for what Lim has to go through. Though he does meet up with Lim in several places, Andre is basically a sex-obsessed man who's a shallow shadow of a true partner. The film shed great light on people living with an ostomy. It is a hoel through which you can evacuate your feces. Your anus is sewn up. Lim bring gay is deeply depressed about this. His passion for photography renews itself, but not before going on a journey of self-discovery as a gay man living with a stoma. The screenplay for Soma was written by the late cultural icon. Julian Lee. It is based on his long battle with cancer.
