This is the story about two senior citizens who both live in a subdivided flat. One of them is called FRANKIE, who used to be a police inspector with high academic qualifications, but he ends up in poverty after using up all his money and becomes the rent collector. The other is called Uncle FUNG, who, although has lots of children and grandchildren, left his home in dismay to stay in the poorest place in Hong Kong, hoping to change his family members' living environment. Through his interview with the two, HO-PANG exposes that the poverty-stricken people are living in inadequate housing in Hong Kong, and at the back of this is subtly hidden an episode of suffering and bitterness. Hong Kong people are known to be optimistic. However, can we remain the same when facing such an extreme living environment?
