Synopsis

Straight Through the Labyrinth chronicles the true story of a gay Jewish scholar of China caught in the crosshairs of the very history he has studied. Suddenly ensnared in Hong Kongs handover to China in 1997, Peter Rupert Lighte, intent on adopting a Chinese baby, navigates his way through daunting bureaucracy and unforeseen drama and prevails, likely becoming Hong Kongs first adoptive gay father. A second daughter soon follows, a story less fraught, convincing him that purposeful synchronicity can thrash anything in the way of love.
