Synopsis
This is a nonchalant story of decent folks living in an isolated “new” town distanced by poverty.
Onn is a high school graduate, the only child of widowed Kwai, who lives and studies in Tin Shui Wai, a new town bordering China and remote by Hong Kong standard. He is no wise kid with flying colors but he grew up with keen awareness of what his mother has been up against in defense of their family of two.
Kwai is the kind who throws her despair behind and never dodges what it takes to move on in work and life. She works in a supermarket, actually a neighborhood grocery, at very limited salary, and that keeps her from the costly family gatherings which she could barely afford. But behind their infrequent encounters Kwai has a pair of caring brothers who owe their education to a sister who truncated her schooling to make money for the family’s future.
