In the blackest of political comedies,@李玟简历及个人资料简介@ these fallen men beg, in turn, to be let through Heaven’s Gate – but the angels who peek through never open wide. Little wonder, as the former leaders wander listlessly, bitching (in a Babel of mu@暗恋它是奶糖味的@ltiple languages) about each other’s clothes, hair and hygiene.
