The Canadian film "Quand tombe la nuit" is a gay film about female romances in Western society. The heroine Camilla is placed at the critical point of eroticism, with austere theological teachings on one side and a mysterious circus of Luo Zhi's dreams on the other, and Patricia's intrusion is like a prophet who provokes her full senses. Guiding, developing, and waiting for the moment of decision, the two will eventually work together to build a dream. Director Patricia Rozema used different symbols to symbolize the gay relationship between Camilla and Patricia in the film. For example: in the scene where they make love, there is also a pair of circus trapeze performers performing some difficult movements in the film. The two trapeze figures symbolize the relationship between Camilla and Patrice – harmony, perfection and oneness, but also a certain level of danger. "Dangerous" also symbolizes homosexuality in real society, because it has not been recognized by the public and still belongs to a group that is regarded as an alien.

Petra: Are you ashamed of me? Am I your dirty little secret?
Camille: Petra, I just don't like being laughed at.
Petra: Oh, really? Well, aren't you cute? Hey, good luck sweetheart, because here are some of the kindest people in the world, Camille. If you can't handle a little fun here, what are you going to do when the real mean fuckers of the world start laughing at you? 'Cause they will, you know. They'll be using it against you and they'll be laughing up a storm, Camille.
Camille: Not if you show it with a little dignity.
Petra: Dignity? What could be more dignified than dancing with the person I adore?
