Synopsis
Under this flashy city, amidst the numbness of frustrations, what people are looking forward to is the glimmer of light that might change their lives. Chak, who runs a small cleaning company, struggles to keep his cleaning company afloat in the early days of the pandemic. One day, Chak hires single mother Candy. But as the chemistry between them develops, Candy finds it hard to abandon the survival tactics of deception she’s always needed to get by. Sometimes hopes are dashed to pieces, but they can still try to resist the oppression of life and support each other.
This film was awarded the Best Director, Best Actor and Films of Merit in the 29th Hong Kong Film Critics Society Awards and Best Original Film Score in the 41st Hong Kong Film Awards.
