Cassie Chen is the owner of “High’s Rent,” where she offers companionship to people going through loss, confusion, unemployment, or heartbreak. Many of her clients are LGBTQ+ youth or individuals feeling like they have no one safe to listen. They often share stories they could not tell family or partners. Some, like a teenager who go kicked out after coming out as gay, found a sense of connection and belonging. Cassie does not claim to change social structures or be a role model for others. These meetings, she says, do help her help make meaningful contributions to people from different social circles. A chance encounter can mean that someone watching may feel less alone. And if her presence proves to be a learning experience, then that’s enough. “Between” Us follows twelve LGBTQ+ individuals living in Taiwan as they navigate love, family, self-understanding, and the quiet turns of everyday life. Rather than defining anyone by labels, the series focuses on the experiences that shape them—the moments of doubt, the slow work of healing, the courage to speak honestly, and the relationships that make openness possible. Through intimate conversations and ordinary details, Between Us reveals how LGBTQ+ lives are built not only through struggle, but through connection, clarity, and the small decisions that lead a person toward who they wish to become. It is a portrait of resilience grounded in the simplicity of being seen.
