Overview
Margriet is in China, where homosexuality is a big taboo and according to many Chinese it doesn't even exist. During a cruise, a number of people come out of the closet, much to the dismay of their parents. One mother visibly has a lot of difficulty with this and isolates herself. Margriet very carefully tries to make contact with her and this leads to a vulnerable conversation. And Margriet's translator also appears to be leading a double life.
