Synopsis
After his mother's death, Chan Kai-yuk (Carlos Chan) feels so alone that he leaves Guangzhou for Hong Kong to look up the father who abandoned him and his mom. But Yuk's hopes are dashed on finding his dad has a new family and considers him a burden. Alone and homeless, Yuk is taken in by Auntie Fan (Kara Wai), a middle-aged recluse who leads a solitary existence. At first, their different habits and personalities lead to numerous squabbles, intensified by Yuk's self-centeredness and Fan's odd temperament. As time goes on, Yuk learns Fan is in the early stages of cognitive disorder. The discovery unexpectedly serves as a catalyst for the young man's growth as a caring friend. For the first time in her life, Auntie Fan feels truly blessed.
